Read full article: Japan’s capsule with asteroid samples retrieved in AustraliaIn this photo provided by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), a capsule, center, dropped by Hayabusa2 is seen before being retrieved in Woomera, southern Australia, Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020. The spacecraft Hayabusa2 released the small capsule on Saturday and sent it toward Earth to deliver samples from a distant asteroid. The capsule's return came weeks after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft made a successful touch-and-go grab of surface samples from the asteroid Bennu. After it released the capsule on Saturday, it set off on a new expedition to another distant asteroid. JAXA hopes to find clues to how the materials are distributed in the solar system and are related to life on Earth.
