Asteroid Bennu Is One Of The Most Likely To Hit Earth.

September 24, 2023, Utah desert, United States: a bright trail crosses the sky. No, it is not a meteor, but a small capsule that a few minutes earlier has been released from an interplanetary probe that has crossed the Earth ten thousand kilometers away. A group of Nasa researchers and Air Force soldiers immediately rushed to collect the capsule containing it. It might sound like the plot of a science fiction film, but it is what will happen in the near future, when the NASA probe Osiris-Rex will deliver to our doorstep some dust collected a year earlier on the surface of the asteroid Bennu.

The mission of Osiris-Rex, one of the most ambitious of recent times for NASA, had begun in 2016 with the launch from Earth which was followed by a long journey of hundreds of millions of kilometers to reach Bennu in 2018, an asteroid, which has a mass estimated at around 70 million tons and a maximum diameter of 565 meters.
In late October 2020, the probe had maneuvered to approach Bennu and touch it for about five seconds with its mechanical arm.
