"NASA's OSIRIS-REx Mission Successfully Returns Asteroid Sample to Earth"

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is set to return to Earth this weekend, bringing back a cup's worth of rock and dust samples collected from the asteroid Bennu. This will be the largest amount of extraterrestrial material brought back to Earth since the Apollo moon missions. The samples, thought to be pristine leftovers from the early solar system, could provide insights into the chemistry that led to the emergence of life on Earth. However, there is a risk of the capsule crashing during reentry. If successful, the samples will be analyzed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
