Why did life happen on Earth? And how did it begin? Even the world’s most advanced space scientists still don’t fully understand these questions, but a mission by NASA called OSIRIS-REx hopes to fill in the missing chapters from Earth’s origin story. The spacecraft traveled billions of kilometers to the asteroid Bennu, which researchers describe as a time capsule from the earliest days of the solar system.
