Send a spacecraft to an asteroid near the ground, collect dust and rocks from its surface, and Rare re -cache re -storage On our planet was one of NASA’s narrowest.
Now, the bold Osiris-Rex mission bears the scientific fruit.
When the spacecraft completed its long journey to the home more than a year ago, NASA divided the sample of 120 grams, collected in October 2020 from the Beno asteroid, among researchers all over the world.
This week, the scientists who analyzed the rubble reported their first detailed results. Wonderful results shed light on the origins of life.

Two studies released on Wednesday revealed that the asteroid contains many basic building blocks, such as amino acids and the ingredients in the DNA.
In addition, researchers discovered Bennu’s cache and minerals are important in life, including Some have not been unprecedented in the asteroid samples.
Dr. Daniel B. said. Two cover: “This is all very exciting because it indicates that asteroids like Bennu have once acted like giant chemical factories in space and raw ingredients can also be delivered to life on Earth and other bodies in our solar system.” Senior scientists to return to return at the Guudard Space Center in NASA in Greenpelet, Maryland.
Ocean secrets
Coral reefs look constant, and are permanently based on rocks or other surfaces on the sea floor.
However, a new research has shown that a kind of mushroom coral, cyclite cyclisti, is actively moving towards blue light waves, using a mechanism similar to a mechanism Movement of jellyfish pulses.
Coral reef areas where C These conditions force the types of species – up to 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) – to move amazing quickly to deeper water.
These coral reefs, which are common throughout the Indian and Pacific region, begin to live in one spot but become more mobile with their maturity.

Thousands of hours of work can enter the red carpet dress or royal wedding dress. But those efforts are faded compared to the clothes decorated with beads that were made about 5,000 years ago in southwestern Spain.
Archaeologists who study 270,769 shell beads that were discovered in the tomb of Montelio, which are part of the Archaeological site of Valnsina near Seville, believed to have been linked together to make sparkling clothes worn by women.
The beads collection is the largest documentation around the world, and it would take 10 people working eight hours a day for 206 days, or about seven months, to make it.
Amazing clothes shed light on the huge situation of the woman who were BurialIn a prehistoric society that was inhabited once at the Valina site.

After Sundown on January 16, Lori Kane, a resident of Providenciales, heard the main island of the Turks Archipelago and Kikos in the North Atlantic Ocean, heard of a fold and looked up.
Kane said: “I have never seen such colors in the sky.” “Initially, I thought it was an actual plane that exploded.”
In fact, the upper stage of the Spacex launch system, the most powerful missile ever, which could carry one day to the moon and Mars. The spacecraft had separated from quitting southern Texas during the seventh test flight.
Over the next few days, Kane and other population found Diards from the explosive accident Summary corridors and beaches.
Spacex’s response to the accident has sparked criticism, which raised broader questions about the company’s approach to developing the instant vehicle and its decision to launch car test flights from South Texas on a path that takes the spacecraft on populated areas.
Meanwhile, Sony Williams and Boot Wilmor, veteran astronauts in Starlener Boeing Drama CenterThey remained busy in their extended residence, Exit for a spacecraft After more than seven months in orbit.
Wonderful creatures

The creature referred to a long time to Skyout Skyout, temporarily stopping after taking some worms.
Mount Lille Shuro was not aware that it was the first of its types that were photographed by humans – specifically the wildlife photographer Vishiel Supramian, as well as student scientists, Prakrit Jain and Harper Forbes.
The trio in East Sierra Nevada was overlooked and seized six mountains of Sorex Lyelli. There, the team photographed and noticed before launching it for free.
The small animal was previously the only known types of mammals in California To be brought up from human camerasAccording to the California Academy of Science.
