One year ago today, #OSIRISREx rocked our world with a sample from a distant asteroid! The rock 'n' roll continues with today's release of "To an Asteroid and Back," our new documentary recounting this historic mission. Watch now on NASA+:

Time flies when you’re learning about the origins of our solar system! ☄ One year ago, the #OSIRISREx sample landed in the Utah desert. Since then, we've carefully curated the rocks and dust from asteroid Bennu, and scientists around the globe are deep in research.

Did you know Iceland's rugged landscapes have been a training ground for NASA astronauts since the Apollo days? This summer the #Artemis II crew continued the tradition, sharpening their geology skills on volcanic terrains that resemble the Moon’s surface:

NASA began distributing 8.2 kg of lunar rocks, representing about a third of collected by the Apollo 11 astronauts, to scientific investigators, #OTD in 1969. The lunar samples reshaped our understanding of the Moon and the entire solar system.

We #ObserveTheMoon with microscopes! Thinly sliced Moon rocks can bring a closer look at the sample’s composition and structure. Scientists use that to learn about how the Moon was formed. Make your own moon observations on Sept 14:
