After two years of effort, Nassau has managed to capture the ancient asteroid called Bennu. The robotic explorer inserts them into the facility during the moon and goes into orbit on December 31st. So the day the world waits for the new year 2019. No other space mission has landed in such a small body, writes Periscope.
Bennu is considered a dangerous asteroid because he will pass by the ground in 150 years. If it hit the ground, Bennu could cause a crater.
Osiris-Rex aims to collect at least 60 grams of dust and sand, the first such effort by the United States after a smaller mission to another asteroid was done by Japan. /Periscopi
