Newly released imagery shows OSIRIS-REx's asteroid sample capsule starting its descent toward Earth.

The asteroid sample collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft landed in Houston today (Sept. 25), a day after arriving on Earth from very deep space.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx dropped off the Bennu asteroid sample last month. Scientists discovered the rocky surface contains carbon and evidence of water.

You can zoom in on photos posted to the NASA website to see more detail. OSIRIS-REx's van-sized craft visited Bennu, scraped and collected material from the asteroid’s surface and sealed it into ...

This “super-resolution” view of the asteroid Bennu was created using eight images obtained by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on Oct. 29 from about 205 miles away. The spacecraft is to land on ...

Scientists said they got more material than expected from the Osiris-Rex mission during its seven-year journey to the asteroid Bennu.

NASA revealed Wednesday the contents of the OSIRIS-REx capsule containing the first asteroid sample collected in space.

Scientists removed the outer lid of OSIRIS-REx's sample canister on Tuesday (Sept. 26). But a full reveal of the mission's asteroid sample is still two weeks away.

Recovery specialists opened the lid of NASA's OSIRIS-REx sample canister and discovered some extra bits of the asteroid on the avionics deck.

After a seven-year trip, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned a sample capsule containing rocks captured from the asteroid Bennu, and now NASA has shared the first results of its tests on the samples.

OSIRIS-REx's return from Bennu comes with a twist, as scientists face delays in disassembling the canister due to an abundance of material on the exterior.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid probe captured photos during the release of its return capsule last month, preserving the historic moment for posterity.
