Touching the Asteroid FULL SPECIAL | NOVA | PBS America

Ғылым және технология

If spacecraft OSIRIS-REx can grab a piece of an asteroid and bring it to Earth, scientists could gain insight into our planet's origins-and even how to defend against rogue asteroids. But NASA only gets three shots at collecting a sample.

    Comparing earth rocks with asteroid lumps is comparing steel with cigar ashes

    Writing this I heard just a few days ago that the team managed to open the container in which the asteroid dust was stored. I was a little surprised to learn that a near earth asteroid was chosen for this mission for a specific reason. How sure were the team that this asteroid was in one from the creation of the solar system? Could it possibly be a remnant from the mooted impact theory between the Earth and the planet Theia which led to the debris field that formed the Moon. It's quite possible that not all the debris from the impact coalesced to form the Moon and that material was ejected far from the elliptical plane of the newly formed Moon to orbit in what would be considered as a near Earth orbit, meaning that what they might be fishing for might not be asteroid dust from the dawning of the solar system but remnants from the creation of the Moon.

    They made something like this, to catch radiation from the sun, out of gold, like a filter, gold was the only thing that the sun's elements would stick to with out wrecking the evidence from heat. Very intresting how they retrieved this sample from the sun.

    @myceliumm is right, there is elements everywhere, and, elements on stars an asteroids, that we haven't even discovered yet.

    Condescending narratives. Omelette, merry go rounds, etc. You think your audience is stupid to dumb it down to cooking in a pan or children's park amusements? Ok but jumps around in time back and forth and takes forever to get to the point, what was found - when in 2023 does it land? 10 min at the start, FF to the last 5 min and you have it.

    blame neil degrasse tyson, everyone tries to copy him plus, NOVA supports early learning & that may be the reasoning for it. if you want instant answers you may want to try wikipedia, its searchable.
