BENNU’S JOURNEY

This large asteroid, a proto-star undergoes fusion and our sun is born. This is the parent of Asteroid Bennu. Today, a NASA Spacecraft has the chance to retrieve a sample from Bennu to reveal the history of our solar system. OSIRIRS-REx is a NASA sample return mission to visit Asteroid Bennu. We plan to grab a piece of Bennu, because it’s a time capsule that can tell us about the origins of our planet and our entire solar system.
