NASA’s OSIRIS-REx detects water and organics signs in asteroid Bennu sample
OSIRIS-REx mission by NASA has made remarkable discoveries related to water and organic molecules. Recent imaging instruments used in the mission have detected water granules and organic signs within the asteroid sample collected. These water granules, formed through a process called rehydration, indicate the possible presence of water ice on or within the asteroid.
Moreover, detailed analysis conducted by the mission’s scientific team has confirmed the presence of various organic molecules, including carbon-based compounds. These organic molecules are essential building blocks of life as we know it. These findings supporting the hypothesis that asteroids like Bennu, the targeted asteroid of the OSIRIS-REx mission, may have played a crucial role in delivering water and organic material to Earth during its early stages. This suggests that asteroids could have contributed to the origins of life on our planet. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to stay updated on this incredible journey!
