NASA Capsule Delivers Rare Sample From Asteroid Bennu

A space capsule from NASA’s Osiris-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu landed in Utah on Sunday. The sample of rocks and dust—the largest ever collected from an asteroid—could help scientists better understand our solar system. Mission controllers and scientists broke into whoops and applause Sunday as they watched an orange Creamsicle-colored parachute deploy above a capsule carrying the largest sample ever collected from an asteroid.
