It travelled billions of miles, and now won't open.
Nasa sent a spacecraft to asteroid Bennu and brought back samples of its surface ‘Houston, we have a problem’ – scientists cannot get the lid off the asteroid Bennu sample capsule. Nasa’s OSIRIS-REx mission may have carried its precious scientific cargo of space dust 200 million miles, but not having the right tool is thwarting efforts to access it.
On Tuesday, September 24, 2182, the asteroid has a 1 in 2,700 chance of colliding with Earth. The odds of it hitting sometime between now and 2300 are even lower at about 1 in 1,750. In 2135 the asteroid will make a close approach, which scientists who haven’t yet been born will use to understand Bennu’s exact trajectory and how Earth’s gravity will alter the asteroid’s path – affecting the chances of hitting the planet on another orbit.
