Thanks to #OSIRISREx, we’ve learned more about the variables that affect an asteroid's path through space, including factors you’d think of, like gravity, and factors you might not, like sunlight! #ToBennuAndBack go.nasa.gov/3iD4U5J pic.twitter.com/wY7a7R6vyx https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1425511229414682624

Asteroid Bennu, the destination of our #OSIRISREx mission, is classified as a hazardous near-Earth asteroid. Data gained from the spacecraft’s visit to Bennu has significantly improved models of its trajectory through the year 2135. go.nasa.gov/3s6YKxE #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/lMTbT3wBu4 https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1425505541011431425

Nothing makes the time fly by on a long trip like a great playlist. Our #OSIRISREx spacecraft is on a 2.5 year cruise back to Earth after collecting a sample of asteroid Bennu.

ICYMI: This week, our #OSIRISREx mission began its 2.5 year journey back to Earth after spending 2.5 years analyzing asteroid Bennu in exquisite detail. We now know the shape of Bennu better than the shape of any other celestial object, including our own Earth. #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/U1H8hvdRfI https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1393968846202097668

This is the last image that OSIRIS-REx took of asteroid Bennu, its companion in space for the past 2.5 years. The image shows crescent Bennu with its night side melting into the black of space. We’re not crying. You’re crying 😭 #ToBennuAndBack go.nasa.gov/3o8sJUb pic.twitter.com/VaSfBUADSt https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1392150121593425923

In 2016, @NASASolarSystem #OSIRISREx’s historic journey to a near-Earth asteroid began as it lifted off on a ULA #AtlasV. Nearly 5 years later, we wish the spacecraft a safe journey home as it departs #Bennu returning the 1st asteroid sample. #ToBennuandBack #ExplorationEnabled

After nearly 5 years in space, @NASASolarSystem's #OSIRISREx mission is heading to Earth with a sample of rocks & dust from a 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid!

We’ve studied Bennu from orbit, and now we're getting ready to dig in, literally. A sample of this primordial rock is now on its way to Earth, where we will analyze it to learn about the origins of our solar system and life on Earth. go.nasa.gov/3bhhfbB #ToBennuAndBack pic.twitter.com/hdajX8ehTr https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1391861952935305217
