NASA Just Opened The Largest Asteroid Sample And Observed Unexpected Objects Within | zeey

Finally, NASA unsealed the capsule containing the largest asteroid sample ever collected by a space mission. The sample originated from Bennu, a potentially hazardous asteroid that resembles an early solar system time capsule. On 26 September 2023, NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston unsealed the sample return canister of the OSIRIS-REx mission, which had returned to Earth with an asteroid sample two days earlier. As the lid was lifted, the scientists were shocked to discover a layer of black dust and detritus on the avionics deck of the container. Also, the sample weighed 100 grams more than what was collected at Bennu. This was unexpected, as the sample was kept in a sealed container throughout the entire journey.
Consequently, how did this occur in the first place? What is the origin of the unanticipated black dust on the canister's avionics deck? Lastly, and most importantly, what do scientists anticipate discovering in the comprehensive analysis of the largest asteroid sample ever brought back to Earth?
