NASA says spacecraft collected double the amount of expected asteroid samples
==========
NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft collected 121.6 grams (4.29 ounces) of dust and pebbles from asteroid Bennu, double the expected amount. The samples were returned last September after three years of gathering. The black, carbon-rich samples are stored at a special curation lab at Houston's Johnson Space Center. The spacecraft is now on its way to another space rock for a flyby without collecting samples.
