Dr. Becky | What's next for OSIRIS-REx? | What tests will NASA do on the asteroid sample? @DrBecky | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 days ago
The OSIRIS-REx probe has finished it's 7 billion km journey to the asteroid Bennu and back but safely delivering a sample of the asteroid back to Earth. But what now? What tests are NASA planning to run on the sample? And what are we hoping to learn from it?

👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
