Researchers at NASA have begun studying samples from the asteroid Bennu following the success mission of the OSIRIS-REx probe, giving more insight into where life came from in the solar system.
Mark Schneegurt, professor of biological sciences in the Fairmount College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was approached to provide context to the findings. His take: “There could hardly be any study more important to our understanding of the origins of life in the solar system.”
