OSIRIS-REx spent over two years near the asteroid Bennu, which is a third of a mile (500 meters) wide. During that time, the spacecraft gathered information about Bennu’s size, shape, mass, and composition while monitoring its spin and orbital trajectory. Before leaving the near-Earth object May 10, 2021, the spacecraft scooped up a sample of rock and dust from the asteroid’s surface. OSIRIS-REx will return the sample to Earth Sept. 24, 2023, for further scientific study.

Found it funny when they said they pinpointed this thing within 2 meters accuracy....the size of a basketball player.

All I get out of this is that the return of King Osiris will happen on September 24, 2023.
Is it cultural appropriation to dress like an Ancient Egyptian on that day?
