- Abstract:
The article "An Asteroid's Secrets" by Robin George Andrews discusses the material sampled from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu, noting similarities with Earth's geology. Speculation arises about Bennu's origin, with some suggesting it could be a relic of a collision that formed the moon. However, chemical analysis indicates Bennu is not from Earth or the moon. The discovery of ancient grains in Bennu's sample excites scientists, suggesting a unique and water-rich history for the asteroid. [Extracted from the article]
