The US space agency NASA announced the arrival of samples of what it described as “the most dangerous rock known in the solar system” to Earth.

The capsule carrying the samples landed in the western desert of the US state of Utah, the culmination of a seven-year mission to study the rock.

Samples were collected from the surface of the asteroid Bennu in 2020 by the Osiris-Rex spacecraft.
