    Nasa Reveals First Look At Asteroid Sample

    Handout photo dated October 12, 2023 shows stromaterials processor Mari Montoya and OSIRIS-REx curation team members set the TAGSAM (Touch and Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism) down in the canister glovebox after removing it from the canister base and flipping it over. Nasa officials in Houston displayed images of salt-and-pepper chunks of rock and particles of dark space dust that were brought back to Earth from the asteroid, Bennu, and described initial scientific observations about the material. The mission, Osiris-Rex, concluded in September when a capsule containing the collection of asteroid samples re-entered through the Earth’s atmosphere and was recovered in the Utah desert. As technicians pried into the external container, they found that some of the material leaked out. Scientists were able to perform a quick analysis that revealed some early findings. The asteroid bits included waterlogged clay minerals. Their presence could help solve how Earth became a water planet. Asteroids similar to Bennu may

      Chinese scientists establish meteorological observation stations on Mt. Cho Oyu

      STORY: Chinese scientists establish meteorological observation stations on Mt. Cho Oyu DATELINE: Oct. 4, 2023 LENGTH: 00:00:53 LOCATION: MOUNT CHO OYU BASE CAMP, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: 1. various of a Chinese expedition team scaling Mt. Cho Oyu 2. various of the automatic weather station STORYLINE: A Chinese expedition team reached the peak of Mount Cho Oyu on Sunday and set up an automatic weather station atop this mountain for the first time. The establishment of the weather station is aimed at revealing more about the characteristics of climate change in this extremely high-altitude region. Located on the China-Nepal border, Mt. Cho Oyu is the sixth-highest mountain in the world with an altitude of 8,201 meters. This is the first time Chinese scientists have scaled a peak exceeding 8,000 meters in altitude apart from Mt. Qomolangma, the world's highest summit. The summit of Mt. Cho Oyu is particularly wide and broad similar to a football field, which is very rare among the highest peaks
