Evidence item

The study examined four aggregate subsamples and an acid extract, so the headline should not imply uniform detection across every returned Bennu material. DIRECT_TEXT

Exact excerpt

To test these hypotheses and explore the implications for Bennu’s parent body, we analysed organic matter in four aggregate (unsorted bulk) Bennu samples: two samples consisting of mostly fine particles (<100 μm) retrieved from spillover onto the avionics deck of the sample return canister and two samples containing a mixture of fine and intermediate (100–500 μm) particles removed from inside the Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM).
