OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in 2020 Bennu asteroid He had collected rock and dust samples on it. NASA scientists studying these samples “amazing” discovery made. Accordingly, the surface of the asteroid turned out to be very different than expected.
NASA likens asteroid surface to a plastic ball pool
space agencythe particles that make up the exterior of Bennu are more than expected. much looser states that it has a structure. NASA went a step further and named the rather loosely-built asteroid in a like a ball pool.
NASA’s spacecraft will crash into the giant asteroid to protect the Earth!
NASA launched the DART mission because of concerns about an asteroid hitting Earth. The first move within the scope of the project will be made soon.
Bennu, his first surprise OSIRIS-REx He did it when he reached the asteroid. As opposed to a sandy surface as seen in observations from asteroid, earth and space with its rocky structure was surprised. Now, the asteroid has once again surprised scientists with its soft tissue structure.
shiftdelete.netTo figure out the density of the asteroid’s surface, scientists acceleration data of the spacecraft and analyzed images captured during the contact process. With the data obtained as a result of the analyzes made, hundreds of different simulations created.
NASA, with the discoveries made distant asteroids states that more accurate observations can be made about With the correct determinations made space objects better predictions can be made. The discovery that the asteroid has a very different structure in this study has pushed scientists to different working methods.
All asteroids with the latest collected data in a hard shell it did not appear. In this way, scientists began to work on the dangers of Bennu and similar asteroids. Gravity and electrostatic force It is stated that such asteroids, which can remain as a whole thanks to their dispersion in the atmosphere, may present different dangers.
OSIRIS-REx sampled from asteroid Bennu September 2023It will be delivered in . Scientists believe that the existence of Bennu in our solar system in the first 10 million years believes it has. The sample from the asteroid could therefore unravel some of the mysteries about the origins of life.
We need to wait until 2023 for the mystery of the Bennu asteroid to be solved. So what do you think about this discovery made by NASA? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
