The Bennu's newly found rugged surface, after additional testing, could rewrite what we know about ancient asteroids.

NASA has used advanced imaging techniques to peer inside samples of asteroid Bennu, discovering extensive networks of cracks running throughout the rock particles.

Bennu looked far different up close than scientists expected, and that mismatch led to a deeper investigation into how asteroid surfaces behave. What researchers found in returned samples helped ...

The surface of asteroid Bennu has long left questions for scientists after a NASA planetary science mission showed the asteroid was actually more rough and jagged than previously expected.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission faced an unexpected challenge when its target, asteroid Bennu, revealed a rugged landscape filled ...

NASA explains why asteroid Bennu appeared different than expected, as OSIRIS REx data and lab analysis reveal cracked rocks affecting thermal behavior and surface observations.

There’s certainly nothing living on the asteroid Bennu, an airless, 1,614-ft. rubble pile orbiting the sun about 40.2 million miles from Earth. But that doesn’t mean that Bennu hasn’t all at once ...
