Ryugu and Bennu are two different near-Earth asteroids, but new research has suggested that they were likely once part of the same larger asteroid, called a 'parent body.'
Ryugu and Bennu are two different near-Earth asteroids, but new research has suggested that they were likely once part of the same larger asteroid, called a"parent body."
The two asteroids, which have the same darkness as charcoal and are shaped like spinning tops, have the distinction of having both been visited by spacecraft in recent years. Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft visited and collected samples from Ryugu, and those samples are currently en route to Earth. NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has been orbiting Bennu since December 2018 and will collect samples from the surface later this year to also return to Earth.
