Rare Asteroid Sample on Display at University of Arizona Museum

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has brought a small piece of an asteroid to the University of Arizona’s Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum. This rare extraterrestrial rock sample is now available for public viewing, making it one of only three such samples in the world. After a seven-year journey, the pebble from asteroid Bennu landed in a remote area of the Utah desert and is now on display at the museum in Arizona.
