Scientists have completed initial analysis of soil samples from the 4.5-billion dollar old Bennu ecosystem that were collected and returned to Earth by the US National Aeronautic’, or Space Administration (NASA) surveillance probe. The results indicate the presence of high carbon and water content in each sample. This means that a sample could contain the elements necessary for one’s evolution in our planet, and thus life can be brought to Earth by asteroids.

The results of the study were announced at a Houston Space Center, where official and scientists showed them first samples from Bennu to general public. The OSIRIS-REx sample is the most carbon produced asteroid samples of all time. It will allow some generations of scientists to explore our nature. Almost everything we do at NASA is our aim to get answers on the subject. NASA missionaries like OSIRIS-REx will improve our understanding of the origins and horizonte conditions for asteroids that might be in danger to Earth, while opening up about what lies beyond. The sample of the nuclear reactor delivered to Earth, but it still remains a lot scientific research ahead that we have not seen yet for many years.
While the discovery of carbon compounds is critical for future discoveries, a first research should confirm how long it will last. The secrets held by a mined rock and dust are going to be studied for decades. Hopefully this work will help you to understand how the Solar system was created, how is one of my first living organisms on Earth and what measures should be taken so that everyone goes inside space.

The mission of OSIRIS-REx was to collect 60 g de sol samples from Bennu. NASA scientists spent 10 days removing the capsule and extracting soil from it. The first time they opened the capsules lid, they discovered that much more material has been delivered to Earth than it is predicted. There were so many samples that the disassembling of a capsule slowly slowed down.
We worked at our labs before Bennu was ready for us. For many years, scientists and engineers have worked together to build special boxes for a pristine appearance of the spaceship’s materials. They use these instruments as weapons that allow researchers who can now carry on studying this precious treasure with new experience, said Vanessa Wyche (director in Houston).
After the first two weeks of being collected on Earth, scientists carried out their rapid analysis using an electron microscope scanning and a motion-photon microscope to measure infrared levels (WP), radiometrics images dispersion test results for chemical samples. By X-ray tomography, it was possible for scientists who created two threedimensional computers in order of one thing. That is that the model shows its internal structure! In these first tests, one can see what large amounts of water and carbon compounds are present in soil samples.

By peering into the ancient secrets held in Bennu’s dust and rock, we open a time capsule that could offer insight to how it started as solar energy. The high-carbon material and the abundant presence of clay materials on hydrous are just a tip for an incredible cosmic climb. The discoveries that were made possible through decades of collaboration and the latest advances in science propel us into a mission to understand not only our celestial environment but also life possibility. After each discovery from Bennu, we get closer to understanding our space heritage mysteries and preparing it for the first time. Dante of The University’s laboratory, Rheldi, is an assistant professor at Stanford University in Tucson with her study on OSIRIS-REx project “Atlanta”.
The next two years will allow scientists to characterize the samples and re-examine their findings. NASA will store at least 70 percent of the soil samples in a Johnson-Disney laboratory for research with scientists from all over us. In the OSIRIS-REx program, samples will be studied by more than 200 scientists from all over world. This includes experts and organizations of many American universities to join the US Space Agency (CCA), or the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency with JAXa (“Jordo) and the Canadian Space Agency’s Joint Venture”). Later this year, soil samples will be loaned to the Smithsonian Institution and Space Center Houston as well.
