Following Tuesday's historic touchdown on the asteroid Bennu, NASA has released never-before-seen images of the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft kicking up rocks and debris on the space rock's surface.

A near-Earth asteroid named Bennu has a loosely packed surface similar to a pit of plastic balls, according to NASA scientists. A spacecraft collected a sample from the asteroid in October 2020 ...

You can zoom in on photos posted to the NASA website to see more detail. OSIRIS-REx's van-sized craft visited Bennu, scraped and collected material from the asteroid’s surface and sealed it into ...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid probe is giving scientists an even better look at the surface of the space rock known as Bennu now that it’s moved even closer to the object. A new photo posted by ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will "tag" asteroid Bennu at one of four potential sites next year. See close-up views of the four candidate sites here!

NASA's Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer takes photo of asteroid Bennu.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid probe is giving scientists an even better look at the surface of the space rock known as Bennu now that it’s moved even closer to the object. A new photo posted by ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission released its first photographs taken from just a mile above the surface of the asteroid Bennu.

The asteroid-orbiting OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has released some of its most detailed images yet of its target, the asteroid Bennu. And they’re breathtaking.

Asteroid Bennu wasn’t what NASA expected. Instead of a smooth surface for sample collection, OSIRIS-REx encountered a chaotic, rocky terrain that made its mission incredibly difficult. This ...

From there, it orbited Bennu, analyzing its surface to determine potential collection sites for the sample needed. The spacecraft eventually landed on the asteroid on October 20, 2020, and ...

On Sunday, NASA’s OSIRIS-Rex mission will deliver a sample it collected from asteroid Bennu, completing a seven-year journey that could provide insights into how life originated on Earth.
