NASA and its partners have published the first wave of information about the samples collected in the OSIRIS-REx mission. "The findings do not show evidence for life itself, but they do suggest the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread across the early solar system,

NASA OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return team has revealed exciting evidence of the precursors of life in the pieces of space rock Bennu.

Samples from asteroid Bennu have delivered insights into the origins of Earth’s water and the organic molecules that may have seeded life.

Scientists studying samples that NASA collected from the asteroid Bennu found a wide assortment of organic molecules that shed light on how life arose.

Samples of organic matter returned from the asteroid Bennu support the theory that asteroids could have brought the building blocks of life to Earth.

The building blocks for life, including salts, organic matter and amino acids have been found in samples returned to Earth from outer space.

NASA scientists found amino acids, key minerals, and nucleobases for DNA in samples from the OSIRIS-REx asteroid mission. It's a win for alien life.

NASA reaffirms its plan with SpaceX to return two astronauts from the ISS, following President Trump's remarks. Another breakthrough involves samples from asteroid Bennu, which hold chemical building blocks of life,

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission successfully returned a generous chunk of the asteroid Bennu to Earth in 2023, and scientists have been analyzing it ever since. International scientific teams have published a pair of studies this week highlighting the incredible assortment of materials found in the sample.

NASA's Asteroid Bennu Sample Reveals Mix of Life's Ingredients Studies of rock and dust from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft have revealed molecules that, on our planet, are key to life, as well as a history of saltwater that could have served as the "broth" for these compounds to interact and combine.

Asteroid samples fetched by NASA hold not only the pristine building blocks for life but also the salty remains of an ancient
