3 Questions: The first asteroid sample returned to Earth
Richard Binzel describes how asteroid dirt and dust delivered by OSIRIS-Rex, with help from MIT, may reveal clues to the solar system's origins. On Sunday morning, a capsule the size of a mini-fridge dropped from the skies over western Utah, carrying a first-of-its-kind package: about 250 grams of dirt and dust plucked from the surface of an asteroid.

Asteroid rocks may aid future space missions
For now, it's the origin of life scientists have been seeking. And while the pieces of a primordial asteroid collected from a NASA spacecraft and brought to Earth this week may hold the clue, they may lead to a bigger, more ambitious mission. Samples taken from the 4.5-billion-year-old Bennu asteroid could very well make it easier for astronauts to travel to and live on Mars and, perhaps, worlds beyond our solar system, according to a University of Miami Ph.D.

SPHEREx Space Telescope Stays Cool in Basement at Caltech
NASA's SPHEREx space telescope has been tucked inside a custom-built chamber on and off for the past two months undergoing tests to prepare it for its two-year mission in space. SPHEREx , which stands for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer, is set to launch into orbit around Earth no later than April 2025.

Cracks in Ancient Martian Mud Surprise NASA’s Curiosity Rover Team
A new paper suggests the same conditions that created the cracks could have been favorable to the emergence of microscopic life. Scientists aren't entirely sure how life began on Earth, but one prevailing theory posits that persistent cycles of wet and dry conditions on land helped assemble the complex chemical building blocks necessary for microbial life.

Hubble, U-M astronomers pioneer study of massive stars
As soon as the first stars in the early universe were born, metal elements began forming. As the universe has evolved, metal content in the universe has grown, driven by stellar winds and supernova explosions from massive stars. It has become clear over recent decades that the amount of metallic elements, or metallicity, changes the fundamental physical properties of stars, including temperature, luminosity, and wind power.
