Space: Bennu’s Molecular Time Capsule

What it’s about: Scientists analyzing the pristine dust and rock samples brought back from the asteroid Bennu have uncovered something incredible. The organic material has remained almost entirely untouched by heat or extreme pressure for billions of years. This makes Bennu a literal "time capsule" from the dawn of our solar system, offering clues about how the building blocks of life might have been delivered to a young Earth.
