This is a complete Astrum documentary about NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission to the asteroid Bennu. After studying the asteroid sample brought back to Earth, scientists made surprising discoveries, including substances never before seen in space…
What can Bennu teach us about the formation of our solar system and even how life arose on Earth?

For those who are just arriving or already know the channel:

this video is a super compilation of our best content about OSIRIS-REx and Bennu, in addition to new discoveries and mission updates. We edited everything into a new continuous video, remastered in 4K resolution, and re-recorded the old narration so that the quality matches that of the most recent episodes.
