the dawn of the solar system. Now, scientists have announced that the Bennu samples contain both organic molecules, which are the building blocks of life, and the remnants of a wet and salty environment that led to their creation. These discoveries shed new light on where and how organics formed in the early solar system and raise the prospects for finding the ingredients of life on other worlds across the solar system.

Researchers identified salt minerals in the Bennu samples that were deposited as a result of brine evaporation from the asteroid’s parent body. In particular, they found a number of sodium salts, such as the needles of hydrated sodium carbonate highlighted in purple in this false-colored image – salts that could easily have been compromised if the samples had been exposed to water in Earth’s atmosphere. \r

Bennu offers scientists a window into the early solar system as it was first taking shape billions of years ago and flinging ingredients that could have helped seed life on Earth. If the sample collection event, known as “Touch-And-Go” (TAG), provided enough of a sample, mission teams will command the spacecraft to begin stowing the precious primordial cargo to begin its journey back to Earth in March 2021. || ", "release_date": "2020-10-21T17:09:00-04:00", "update_date": "2025-03-16T23:22:39.308499-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 381716, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013700/a013744/13744_thumb1_searchweb.png", "filename": "13744_thumb1_searchweb.png", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "1.
