An asteroid bounty
NASA finally managed to crack open the lid to its asteroid sample container in early January, revealing an unbelievable trove of surface materials gathered by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from asteroid Bennu. NASA has exceeded its target of returning a minimum of 2.12 ounces (60 grams) of rock and dust to Earth, with an estimated total sample weight of 8.8 ounces (250 grams), including bonus samples found atop the lid.
