☆ NASA’s Lucy mission will closely fly by the asteroid Dinkinesh

CNN —The NASA Lucy mission is about to have its first encounter with a space rock. The spacecraft, launched in October 2021, will fly by the small asteroid Dinkinesh on Wednesday. Dinkinesh is about half a mile (1 kilometer) wide and is situated in the main asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Each of the asteroids Lucy will fly by differ in size and color. These are some of the asteroids that the Lucy mission will fly by over the next 12 years.

☆ NASA will preserve asteroid samples from OSIRIS-Rex for centuries to come so that scientists not even born yet can study them

An asteroid sample collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft landed in the Utah desert Sunday. The landing marked the end of NASA's first ever mission to collect an asteroid sample. The rocks and dust from asteroid Bennu will prove useful to scientists for centuries to come. It was carrying rock and dust samples collected by the spacecraft from the asteroid Bennu in 2020. The team had to pivot, storing the sample inside its return capsule straight away instead of weighing it first as planned.

☆ How to Watch NASA Bring Asteroid Samples Home From Space

On Sunday morning, a brown-and-white capsule will shoot through Earth’s atmosphere to drop off a cache of pristine space rock to a team of eagerly waiting scientists and engineers. If successful, the sample return will be the end of a seven-year mission by NASA called OSIRIS-REX — which stands for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resources Identification and Security-Regolith Explorer — that launched in 2016. When will OSIRIS-REX drop off the sample and how can I watch? NASA will livestream the arrival on its YouTube channel starting around 10 a.m. Earlier on Sunday, the OSIRIS-REX command team conducted what they call a go-or-no-go poll to determine whether the spacecraft would release the capsule.
