NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned 121.6g of asteroid Bennu, revealing water minerals and DNA building blocks.

This suggests Earth’s life-sustaining ingredients arrived from space 4.5 billion years ago

At the #AAS247 Fred Kavli Plenary Lecture, Dr. Daniella “Dani” Mendoza DellaGiustina of the University of Arizona shared new insights from OSIRIS-REx, including what Bennu’s samples are revealing about the early Solar System.

A great start to the meeting!

Life From Space? ☄️ Apophis, "Alien" Water & The Terrifying Truth About Asteroids Is the thing that created us also waiting to destroy us? ☄️🧬 For years, we looked at asteroids as just dead, floating rocks. But recent samples returned from missions like OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 have blown that assumption out of the airlock. In this episode, we dive deep into the terrifying and beautiful truth hidden inside space debris. We explore how these ancient rocks aren't just threats—they are likely the architects of life itself, carrying the liquid water, amino acids, and pre-solar grains that jumpstarted existence on Earth. But here is the catch: The same physics that delivered life is also a ticking time bomb. We breakdown the latest data on Potentially Hazardous Objects like Bennu and the infamous Apophis. We discuss why Hollywood gets it wrong—you can't just "nuke" these asteroids because they are actually "rubble piles" that absorb shockwaves like a sponge. In this cosmic deep dive, we uncover: - The Blueprint of Life: How samples predating our Sun prove that the ingredients for our oceans came from the stars. - The "Rubble Pile" Problem: Why planetary defense is harder than we thought and why these rocks are so hard to deflect. - The Threat List: A look at the trajectories of Apophis and Bennu and the catastrophic energy they hold. - Physics Defying Anomalies: The unusual magnetic signatures and radioactive isotopes that are rewriting solar system history. Join us as we walk the fine line between scientific wonder and existential dread. Are we looking at our ancestors, or the bullet with our name on it? Topics: Space Science, Planetary Defense, Astrobiology, NASA Missions, Apophis, and the Future of Earth. 🎧 Strap in and press play—let’s find out what’s incoming.

Sugars, 'Gum,' Stardust Found In NASA's Asteroid Bennu Samples - Slashdot NASA's OSIRIS-REx samples from asteroid Bennu have revealed bio-essential sugars, a never-before-seen "space gum" polymer, and unusually high levels of supernova-origin dust. The findings bolster the RNA-world hypothesis, suggest complex organics formed early on Bennu's parent body, and show preserv...

NASA discovers 'space gum' and sugars 'crucial to life' in asteroid Bennu samples brought to Earth (video) "I'm becoming much more optimistic that we may be able to find life beyond Earth, even in our own solar system."

It's now looking much more likely we'll find life elsewhere in our solar system, like on Mars, Europa, Enceladus and/or Titan.

The samples returned from asteroid Bennu contained ribose and glucose.

A cartoon image of the Osiris Rex spacecraft and asteroid bennu. Bennu has a goofy expression. Osiris Rex has a long arm extended. Text reads: “OSIRIS-REx: that time NASA decided to punch an asteroid right in its stupid face. For science!”

After trying to identify surface features on a 3D model of asteroid Bennu using a 2D map, I am of the personal opinion that we really should have punched Bennu much harder. #spaceexploration #osirisrex #osirisapex #bennu #scienceillustration

A grayscale image shows asteroid Bennu, captured by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft. Ejecta, likely gravel and small rocks, is seen streaming away from the asteroid's surface, illustrating the unexpected discovery of ejection events on Bennu. The image highlights the mystery surrounding the ejection mechanism, with theories ranging from meteoroid impacts to thermal fracturing and water vapor release. The data suggests that larger particles fall back to the asteroid's surface while smaller particles escape its low gravity.

A composite image showing an ejection event on asteroid Bennu. The image depicts the asteroid on the left, with a trail of sun-reflecting ejecta (gravel and rocks) streaming away to the right against the dark background of space. The ejection is likely caused by impacts, thermal fracturing, or water vapor release. Data shows that while larger rocks fall back to Bennu, smaller particles escape the asteroid's low gravity.
