Trick-Or-Treat, Spacecraft-Style

Yesterday, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully collected rock samples, from an asteroid named Bennu. It’s been orbiting the asteroid for nearly 2 years, gathering data while hurtling through space, at 63,000 miles-per-hour. OSIRIS-REx will start its return journey home next March, and arrive on Earth in September 2023. Scientists are eager to study the bag of asteroid rocks!
