What We Found in Some Historic Asteroid Samples on This Week @NASAUniverse007 – October 13, 2023
This week on This Week @NASA, we're taking a look at some historic asteroid samples and what they're telling us about the early solar system.
In 1989, the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa landed on the asteroid Itokawa and collected samples. These samples were returned to Earth in 2010, and scientists have been studying them ever since.
In 2020, the NASA spacecraft OSIRIS-REx returned samples from the asteroid Bennu. These samples are the largest collection of material ever returned from an asteroid.
Scientists are still analyzing the samples from Hayabusa and OSIRIS-REx, but they have already made some amazing discoveries. For example, they have found that asteroids contain organic matter, which is the building blocks of life.
In this video, we'll learn more about the historic asteroid samples and what they're telling us about the early solar system. We'll also talk about what scientists are hoping to learn from these samples in the future.
What are asteroids?
Why are asteroid samples important?
What have we learned from the Hayabusa and OSIRIS-REx samples?
What are the future plans for asteroid research?
"Take a journey to the early solar system in this video about historic asteroid samples. Learn about the amazing discoveries that scientists have made and what they're hoping to learn in the future."
"Asteroids are often thought of as space rocks, but they're actually treasure troves of information about the early solar system. In this video, we'll learn more about the historic asteroid samples that scientists are studying and what they're telling us about the past."
"Asteroids may be small, but they're mighty. In this video, we'll explore the fascinating world of asteroid research and learn more about what these space rocks can teach us about the early solar system and the potential for life beyond Earth."
