Nasa Reveals First Look At Asteroid Sample

Handout photo dated September 26, 2023 shows OSIRIS REx Asteroid Sample Return lid opening at Building 31 Astromaterials Curation Facility. 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 have crashed into Earth, filling our oceans.

View Of Comet Helps Solve Mystery Of Earth's Abundant Water

Handout - This artist’s concept of Comet 238P/Read shows the main belt comet sublimating—its water ice vaporising as its orbit approaches the Sun. This is significant, as the sublimation is what distinguishes comets from asteroids, creating their distinctive tail and hazy halo, or coma. The James Webb Space Telescope’s detection of water vapor at Comet Read is a major benchmark in the study of main belt comets, and in the broader investigation of the origin of Earth’s abundant water. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has enabled another long-sought scientific breakthrough, this time for solar system scientists studying the origins of Earth's abundant water. Using Webb's NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument, astronomers have confirmed gas – specifically water vapor – around a comet in the main asteroid belt for the first time, indicating that water ice from the primordial solar system can be preserved in that region. Comet Read is a main belt comet – an object that resides in the main asteroid belt

View Of Comet Helps Solve Mystery Of Earth's Abundant Water

Handout - This image of Comet 238P/Read was captured by the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope on September 8, 2022. It displays the hazy halo, called the coma, and tail that are characteristic of comets, as opposed to asteroids. The dusty coma and tail result from the vaporization of ices as the Sun warms the main body of the comet.

Japanese astronaut simply wants to go back to outer space

TSUKUBA, Japan - Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata (3rd from L in a photo released by NASA) said on July 25 he is willing to go to the moon, Mars, asteroids or anywhere in the outer space if there is a project for him to participate in. Wakata made the comments from Florida in a teleconference with reporters in Japan. He is currently undergoing a weeklong training mission at an underwater laboratory off Florida, which was established about 19 meters below sea level for the training of astronauts for future space exploration.
