💧 Ancient brine discovered on asteroid Bennu! 🚀

A new study in Nature reveals that samples from Bennu contain an evaporite sequence formed from ancient brine. This discovery sheds light on water’s history in the early solar system and how asteroids evolved over time.

Live stream of the Barnard-Seyfert Astronomical Society meeting. Tonight we’re excited to hear from NASA astrobiologist Dr. Jason Dworkin as he shares insights from the OSIRIS-REx mission, which returned over 120 grams of asteroid Bennu to Earth—revealing clues about the early solar system and recently published in Nature Astronomy! 🚀🌍 #OSIRISREx #Astrobiology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpuVuPqnDLI #space

Hybrid Gas/Drill Asteroid Sampler Could Improve Collection Amounts

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.universetoday.com/170770/hybrid-gas-drill-asteroid-sampler-could-improve-collection-amounts/

<p>Asteroid sampling missions are getting increasingly complex. Recent announcements about the existence of amino acids in the sample OSIRIS-REx returned from Bennu in 2023 will likely result in more interest in studying the small bodies strewn throughout our solar system. Engineering challenges abound when doing so, though, including one of the most important – how to collect a sample from the asteroid. A new paper from researchers at the China Academy of Space Technology looks at a gas-drive sample system they believe could hold the key to China’s future asteroid sample return mission.</p>

<span id="more-170770"></span>

<p>There are three main categories of successful asteroid sampling missions – shooting, drilling, and puffing. The original Hayabusa mission in 2010 was an example of the first method – it fired a bullet into the asteroid’s surface after performing a “soft landing.” It used the force of the bullet’s impact to shoot fragments into a collection system. This has the advantage of not requiring the spacecraft to be anchored to the asteroid but isn’t very effective at breaking through hard surfaces.</p>

<p>The puffing method, which OSIRIS-REx used during its visit to Bennu, has the same advantages and disadvantages. Instead of a bullet, it puffed nitrogen at the surface as part of its Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM). </p>

🔴Las muestras del asteroide Bennu revelan un ‘caldo’ con los ingredientes de la vida.

Los hallazgos no muestran evidencia de vida, pero sí sugieren que las condiciones necesarias para su surgimiento estaban muy extendidas en todo el sistema solar primitivo.

Bouwstenen voor leven gevonden in materiaal van asteroïde Bennu

Er wordt aangenomen dat asteroïde Bennu bestaat uit puinfragmenten van een 4,5 miljard jaar oud moederlichaam, met materialen die afkomstig zijn van voorbij Saturnus, dat lang geleden werd vernietigd bij een botsing met een ander object.

Exciting news from space! 🚀 Scientists have discovered all five nucleobases—the building blocks of DNA and RNA—in samples from asteroid Bennu, supporting the theory that asteroids may have delivered life's ingredients to Earth.

Looking for some information on the Osiris Rex mission (which recently found amino acids on the asteroid Bennu), I ran into this paper about #mining #asteroids for food.
And I just can't run into a cool #SciFi applicable paper without sharing.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-astrobiology/article/how-we-can-mine-asteroids-for-space-food/9EF3C4FA6F32368D09994EB7910C7035

Also, #OsirisRex is a really interesting mission in general, with some really cool recent discoveries (above-mentioned amino acids), and you should look it up.

Food and tray from the Skylab era (1973–74) to give a general representation of space food. The paper had only generic van Krevelen diagrams, and I did not want to inflict that on anyone.

https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-8775 #leveninhetheelal #Exoplaneten #hd20794 #Bennu #OSIRISREx Donderdag 30-01-2025 'The universe could be teeming with life', zei Barrie Jones, hoogleraar astrobiologie in 2004 op een conferentie over de eerste exoplaneten die werden gevonden. Ik citeer die uitspraak graag op mijn weblog en moest er deze week weer aan denken toen ik het nieuws las dat astronomen in de leefbare zône van de zonachtige ster HD 20794 een superaarde hadden ontdekt. De ster is relatief zeer dicht..
