After analyzing the first subsurface sample of an asteroid to Earth, scientists are sharing what they've learned about the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu. The asteroid sample could shed light on the origin of our solar system and the building blocks of life.
Just over a year after Japan's Hayabusa2 mission returned the first subsurface sample of an asteroid to Earth, scientists have determined that the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu is a pristine remnant from the formation of our solar system.
This was the first material to be returned to Earth from a carbon-rich asteroid. These asteroids can reveal how our cosmic corner of the universe was formed. The organic and hydrated minerals locked within these asteroids could also shed light on the origin of the building blocks of life. Japan's Hayabusa2 capsule containing samples collected from the asteroid Ryugu returned to Earth in December 2020.Ryugu is a dark, diamond-shaped asteroid that measures about 3,000 feet wide.
