Asteroid Bennu is a mix of materials from both ends of the Solar System
Original: # Bennu es un poco Frankenstein: el # asteroide que la # NASA trajo a la # Tierra mezcla materiales de los dos extremos
Samples that NASA brought back to Earth from the asteroid Bennu show the space rock is something of a 'Frankenstein', combining materials that formed at opposite ends of the Solar System. The findings, reported by Xataka, suggest Bennu's parent body gathered debris from very different regions before breaking apart, offering new clues about how the early Solar System mixed its building blocks.
Why now: New analysis of NASA's Bennu sample-return mission reveals the asteroid contains material from both the inner and outer Solar System.
