Asteroid Bennu Came From an Unexpected Corner of the Solar System
New reporting says asteroid Bennu, the near-Earth object studied by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, likely originated in an unexpected region of the early solar system rather than the main asteroid belt where scientists assumed it formed. The findings could reshape understanding of how the solar system's building blocks were distributed and delivered water and organic material to Earth.
Why now: New research into Bennu's origins challenges established models of the solar system's formation
