The sample return capsule from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission is seen shortly after it landed in the desert, Sunday, Sept. 24, 2023, at the Department of Defense Test and Training Range in Utah. (Image credit: NASA/Keegan Barber)

NASA's OSIRIS-REx capsule containing soil samples from an asteroid has landed safely in Utah and been transferred to a clean room

The Osiris-Rex probe returns to Earth small samples of the asteroid Beno, a "real small world" for analysis

Astrophysics

Astronomers think that GRB 221009A is the birth of a newly formed black hole in the heart of a collapsing star. In this figure the black hole creates strong jets of particles that move at a speed close to the speed of light. The jets penetrate through the star, emitting X-rays and gamma rays as they flow into space. Credit: NASA/Swift/Cruz deWilde

This figure illustrates how an interstellar object is rapidly approaching our solar system. Ejected from its home planet system long ago, the object traveled through interstellar space for billions of years before passing briefly in our cosmic neighborhood. The Robin Observatory will reveal many of these unknown interstellar visitors.
