Summary:
- NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully collected a sample from the asteroid Bennu, which contained traces of brine - a salty liquid that could provide insights into the chemistry of life.
- The brine traces suggest that Bennu may have experienced past interactions with water, which is essential for the development of life.
- These findings from the asteroid sample could help scientists better understand the role of water and organic compounds in the formation of the solar system and the emergence of life on Earth.
