  • NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission collected a sample from Asteroid Bennu on 20 October 2020,using a “Touch-And-Go,” or TAG, maneuver. Site Nightingale is located in Bennu’s northern hemisphere, in a crater 460 feet (140 meters) wide. The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-Rex) is NASA’s first asteroid sample return mission.

Canada has had a lot to do with the USA getting to space including the landing gear that put Neil on the moon to even our engineers but we never get any credit unless we dig and read the small print lol. Not sure why we let people walk all over us but it wouldn't be the first time the USA has threatened our country. I doubt our governments and 90% of people don't care about destroying our country, nature and the wildlife when it comes to making a profit. I hate to say it but I really hope the Artic Freezes over making it impossible for any humans to inhabit. Nothing but money hungry bastards want anything to do with it. I watched a show on the melting and the NW passage opening and drilling mines for minerals and oil. Even some of the indigenous peoples are hoping for such a beautiful place to die just to line their pockets. Like what the hell kind of people want the life and home they have had for ages to just die for money. I am almost in tears if we don't have snow a week before Christmas. Thankfully I have always had a white Christmas.

  • @trongod2000
    @trongod2000 3 роки тому +2

    It hadn't occurred to me until I watched this video but there is a good lesson in here. On small targets like an asteroid, the lack of gravity means the surface material doesn't lay down in layers the way us earthlings would expect. The lack of a dirty dust layer and a heavy material under it is due to this lack of gravity. Gravity would have made a nice "soil" on the surface. On the other side of this however is the surface material is very loose. It's not been compacted at all. So when the gas hit it, it just flew all over the place like it didn't weigh what it's size would have us believe.

    I think the most interesting thing about this mission has been that discovering that asteroids may not be solid objects.
    They may not have sufficient gravity to have fused together the way a planet does.
    It makes sense. They have been smashing into each other, blasting each other apart and coalescing back into lumps of rock and dust for millions to billions of years.

      Nitrogen was the gas used. Nitrogen is inert, so no contamination risk.

      It's OSIRIS-REx itself. The spacecraft is rectangular anyway, all you can see in the footage is its arm, and I think that the shadow is the spacecraft's if I'm not mistaken

      It's going to return the material to earth. A soft landing might be very difficult because the low gravity has almost no effect. Any wrong movement would make it bounce or rotate.

      In absence of close proximity larger bodies it can. Everything that has mass creates gravity. So even our bodies could attract small pebbles (though incredibly slowly) far enough from bigger bodies.
