Tagging Bennu: The Movie

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This movie shows NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft punching asteroid Bennu. Last month, the robotic probe descended, thumped into, and then quickly moved away from the small near-Earth asteroid. The event is called Touch-And-Go, or TAG. The video depicts the three-hour sampling event, showing the probe approaching the 500-meter, diamond-shaped space rock as it rotates.
