NASA’s Discovery of Bennu and Its Impact on Solar System Understanding

Liputan6.com, Jakarta NASA is an abbreviation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a United States government agency responsible for space exploration, scientific research and outer space exploration programs.

Meanwhile, asteroids are small celestial bodies that orbit the sun and are mostly found in the asteroid belt, between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. This celestial body is part of the solar system, which consists of rock and metal materials.

Recently NASA discovered another sample from Bennu, an asteroid approaching Earth. Bennu itself is very old, about 4.5 billion years old, and there is a small chance that this asteroid could hit Earth, within the next 159 years.

Therefore, the importance of this discovery not only impacts the understanding of the origins of life on Earth, but can also help you understand more deeply, about how the solar system formed. The following are samples of celestial objects discovered by NASA that Liputan6.com summarized from various sources, Tuesday (17/10/2023).
