This “super-resolution” view of the asteroid Bennu was created using eight images obtained by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on Oct. 29 from about 205 miles away.
A computer-generated image of the OSIRIS-REx probe collecting a sample from the surface of the asteroid Bennu. The spacecraft is due to return to Earth with the sample in 2023.
This undated image made available by NASA shows the asteroid Bennu from the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. ... "The likelihood that a Bennu-sized asteroid will strike Earth is quite small at 0.037 percent.
Asteroid Bennu is much stranger than researchers previously thought. When the OSIRIS-REx probe arrived at asteroid Bennu, it found a body that looked and behaved quite differently from what ...
The radar images taken during its fly-by have allowed astronomers to distinguish never-before-seen characteristics of the asteroid. The images, captured at a resolution of 250 feet (75 meters) per ...
In October 2020, NASA’s OSRISIS-REx spacecraft made history by touching down on the asteroid Bennu and grabbing a sample of rock and debris. New analysis of this encounter has revealed the probe ...
NASA scientists have predicted there is a chance that a massive asteroid they have been tracking could smash into Earth in the year 2182, potentially devastating an area the size of Texas. Bennu ...
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid probe has spotted the asteroid Bennu flinging pieces of its own surface into space. These “particle ejection events” happen all the time, … ...
Scientists said the footage showing the OSIRIS-REx space mission making "a good mess" on the asteroid Bennu, more than 200 million miles away, is a clear sign of success.
May and his colleague Claudia Manzoni melded multiple images of Bennu taken at slightly different angles to transform the asteroid into an eye-popping 3D object.
