Bennu stands as one of Earth’s closest celestial companions – an asteroid about as tall as a skyscraper.

From late 2018, it became the abode of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission.

On May 10, 2021, it bid farewell to Bennu, embarking on its journey back to Earth, carrying over 60 grams of precious asteroid samples.
