According to a report by Geek.com, one day before NASA's New Horizons made its historic flyby of Ultima Thule, the space agency broke another cosmic record. On December 31st, OSIRIS-REx entered into orbit around the asteroid Bennu, the smallest object ever to be circled by a spacecraft. Dante Lauretta, principal project investigator at the University of Arizona, Tucson, said in a statement, “The team continued our long string of successes by executing the orbit-insertion maneuver perfectly." OSIRIS-REx was reportedly launched in September of 2016, and has been inching closer to the planetoid for over two years, before it eventually landed on the asteroid last month. Geek.com reports that the ship is scheduled to circle the asteroid through the middle of February at a leisurely 62 hours per orbit. https://www.geek.com/news/nasas-osiris-rex-spacecraft-breaks-space-exploration-record-1767933/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

On Dec. 31, 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft entered orbit around asteroid Bennu — setting new records for the smallest body ever orbited by a spacecraft and the closest orbit of a planetary body by any spacecraft. OSIRIS-REx will remain in orbit until mid-February 2019 when the spacecraft will begin a series of flybys that allow it to conduct a more detailed survey of the asteroid's surface. It will enter orbit a second time in mid-2019. Check out all of OSIRIS-REx's asteroid operations: https://www.asteroidmission.org/asteroid-operations/

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft landed on asteroid Bennu last week, and already it’s found water on the minor planet. Early data from the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission revealed water locked inside Bennu. Information gathered by the spacecraft’s OVIRS and OTES spectrometers reveals the presence of molecules that contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms bonded together, known as “hydroxyls.” https://www.geek.com/news/nasas-osiris-rex-discovers-water-on-asteroid-bennu-1765333/?source http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

CNN reports NASA's OSIRIS-REx, reached the asteroid Bennu only a week ago to collect samples. Details about the early solar system are already being discovered, including water within the clays on Bennu. OSIRIS-REx discovered hydroxyls, molecules of bonded oxygen and hydrogen atoms, which may be locked in clay minerals. Bennu may have been part of a larger asteroid, and the water would have been on its "parent" body. When samples of this material are returned by the mission to Earth in 2023, scientists will receive a treasure trove of new information about the history and evolution of our solar system.

Scientists say there's a 1-in-30 million chance we get hit with a 'country killer' asteroid Aug. 8, 2023

Asteroids are the leftover building blocks of the solar system, remnants from the dawn of planet formation that may have delivered organics and water to early Earth, and which could hold clues to the origins of life. Now, a NASA mission called OSIRIS-REx has arrived at near-Earth asteroid Bennu. It will map and study the tiny world in great detail, eventually returning a piece of Bennu to Earth in 2023. The discoveries of OSIRIS-REx will shed light on our solar system's ancient history, and help pave the way for future exploration of other small bodies. In this short documentary, members of the OSIRIS-REx team capture the excitement of arriving at Bennu and look forward to the discoveries ahead.

Two planetary scientists, Carey Lisse from the New Horizons mission, and Amy Simon from the OSIRIS-REx mission, discuss similarities and differences between asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects - our solar system's most distant bodies. On Dec. 3, 2018, NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission will arrive at Asteroid Bennu where it will spend two years surveying this relic from our solar system's beginnings before ultimately collecting a sample and returning it to Earth in 2023. On New Year's Day 2019, NASA's New Horizons mission will visit Ultima Thule, making this Kuiper Belt Object the most distant object ever explored by humankind.

Our planet shares a lot with other rocky planets in our solar system, but astronomers have found a few mountains out there that are nothing like ours. SciShow has a spinoff podcast!

The key to our spacefaring future. Hosted by Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. It’s not a bird or a plane, and probably not an alien spaceship, although the jury’s still deliberating that one. Some astronomers have proposed that an oddly-shaped object that recently passed through our Solar System could be an alien artifact. We consider the E.T. explanation for ‘Oumuamua, but also other reasons asteroids are invigorating our imagination. Are these orbiting rocks key to our future as a spacefaring species? Find out why traditional incentives for human exploration of space – such as political rivalry –aren’t igniting our rockets the way they once did, but why the potentially trillions of dollars to be made mining asteroids might. These small bodies may also hold the key to our ancient past: the New Horizons flyby of Thule in early 2019 will provide an historic look at a distant Kuiper belt object, and provide clues about the formation of the Solar System.

(2018) https://go.nature.com/2A9FncQ Last year a visitor came to our inner solar system. To us it looked like a faint spot of light, moving quickly relative to the fixed stars. We’d seen similar things countless times before – lonely rocks, remnants from the formation of our solar system, drifting on their endless orbits around the sun and faintly glimmering with its reflected light. Nothing unusual about such asteroids and comets, but what made this object special was its trajectory. It was not in orbit around the Sun at all. Rather, it appeared to have fallen in from interstellar space, and was on its way back out again. The object is 1I/2017 U1, better known as ‘Oumuamua. It’s the first chunk of interstellar space debris we’ve ever spotted passing through our solar system. It caused a justifiable stir at the time. Hell, WE even did an episode on it.

In a remote area of northwest Greenland, an international team of scientists has made a stunning discovery, buried beneath a kilometer of ice. It’s a meteor impact crater, 300 meters deep and bigger than Paris or the Beltway around Washington, DC. It is one of the 25 largest known impact craters on Earth, and the first found under any of our planet’s ice sheets. The researchers first spotted the crater in July 2015, while they were inspecting a new map of the topography beneath Greenland's ice sheet that used ice-penetrating radar data primarily from Operation IceBridge, an ongoing NASA airborne mission to track changes in polar ice, and earlier NASA airborne missions in Greenland.

The first interstellar object, named 'Oumuamua, was discovered in October 2017 by the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii. The object is of unknown origin and could be a comet or asteroid. In this preview of Thursday's full episode, we spoke to Dr. Karen Meech, who leads the Astrobiology research team at the University of Hawaii and recently led the characterization to determine the size, shape, color and light curve of the first interstellar object – 'Oumuamua.

Is 'Oumuamua an interstellar asteroid or alien lightsail? Astronomers form Harvard University suggest 'Oumuamua may in fact be a light sail from an alien civilization, which would explain why 'Oumuamua is accelerating. However, there's not much evidence 'Oumuamua really is an artificial object and simply not a kind of comet. 🔴 Subscribe to my channel: https://www.youtube.com/christianready?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 Share this video with a friend: https://youtu.be/KQemVWn3lSk 🔴 From out of town?

In this video, we discuss the space object Oumuamua and the odd traits that make scientists question its origin. Oumuamua was discovered in October of 2017 and was quickly denoted as an interstellar object, due to its have speeds in our solar system. Over the course of a few months, astronomers all over the world were able to determine the approximate size, shape, and composition of this object, however, it didn't match what scientists had previously expected an interstellar object to be like. Over time, the object was also varying in its trajectory slightly, which brought up many more questions regarding the origin of these disturbances and what could be happening. Recently, scientists at Harvard suggest that this could be a solar sail, created by some intelligent alien species, trying to understand planet Earth. In this video we walk through the different known facts about Oumuamnu, and why it may or may not be an alien spaceship. Thanks for watching! And consider subscribing if you enjoyed this video!

According to Mother Nature Network, scientists believe they know where the bizarre, cigar-shaped interstellar object 'Oumuamua came from. The unique rock was first spotted in October 2017 when the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope in Hawaii picked up a faint point of light moving across the night sky. A team of scientists have narrowed down the possibilities of where the cigar-shaped object comes from to four stars — red dwarf HIP 3757, sunlike star HD 292249 and two other unnamed stars. https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space/stories/bizarre-cigar-shaped-asteroid-another-star-and-unlike-anything-seen http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

A pair of Harvard scientists say a massive, fast-moving visitor to our solar system may have been a probe sent by an advance alien civilization. Astronomers were excited to discover the interstellar object last year. It was named "Oumuamua" that's Hawaiian for "messenger" or "scout." Tony Dokoupil reports.
