FLORA LICHTMAN: This is Science Friday. I&#;m Flora Lichtman. About 4 and 1/2 years ago, a spacecraft called OSIRIS-REx landed on the surface of an asteroid called Bennu. It drilled down and scooped up samples of rock and dust, and after several years of travel, delivered those samples back to Earth.
Since then, researchers around the world have been analyzing tiny bits of that asteroid dust, trying to tease out as much information as they can about what Bennu is like and where it might have come from. Two scientific papers published this week give some results of those experiments.
Joining me now are doctor Danny Glavin, senior scientist at NASA&#;s Goddard Space Flight Center and co-investigator on the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission, and Dr. Dante Lauretta, planetary scientist at the University of Arizona and leader of the OSIRIS-REx mission. He&#;s also the author of Asteroid Hunter. Welcome to you both.
DANTE LAURETTA: Thank you. It&#;s great to be here.
DANNY GLAVIN: Yeah.
FLORA LICHTMAN: You two know each other, I gather?
DANNY GLAVIN: Yeah. Actually, Dante and I met 22 years ago, where we shared a tent in Antarctica as part of the Ansmet meteorite hunting expedition, and actually, together, discovered this rock, a meteorite from space, that had liquid w
