BENNU CLOSEUP 

This mosaic image of asteroid Bennu collected on Dec. 2 by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft from a range of 15 miles (24 km). 

North Side of Bennu’s Boulder No. 1 
Bennu’s largest boulder- image taken on March 29 from a distance of 2.2 miles (3.6 km). The field of view is 170 ft (51.7 m) wide. For scale, the height of the boulder is 71 ft (21.7 m), which is about the same height as the White House. 

Northern Candidate Sample Site on Asteroid Bennu 
One of the candidate sites for sample collection on asteroid Bennu. The 71 ft (21.6 m) wide crater on Bennu’s northern hemisphere appears to contain fine-grained material is relatively free of hazards to the spacecraft, and significantly smaller than the OSIRIS-REx mission’s original plans for a 164 ft (50 m) wide sampling region.The field of view is 165 ft (50.3 m).
