🌌Ancient asteroids like Bennu hold significant clues about the origin of our solar system and the early stages of planet formation.
🚀NASA's Osiris Rex mission successfully collected pristine samples from the Bennu asteroid, providing valuable insights into the composition and history of these space rocks.
🌍Earth does not have any rocks as old as the ones found on ancient asteroids, making these specimens crucial for understanding the early history of our planet.
💦Water found in the asteroid samples indicates that asteroids played a role in delivering water to Earth, which was crucial for the development of life.
🛰️Mining water from asteroids in space could provide a sustainable source of resources for future space travel, eliminating the need to transport water from Earth.
