More than 20 years ago, scientists discovered an interesting diamond-shaped space rock. It was an asteroid called Ryugu. A spacecraft took a sample from the surface of Ryugu, got back to Earth, and teams of researchers discovered something really cool – this asteroid is even older than our solar system! Ryugu sneaked into the inner part of our solar system, so we got a better chance to study it a little bit. It’s circling around the sun somewhere between our home planet and Mars. Why is it so important, and what can we learn from it? Let's find out! #brightside Credit: Disk Galaxy: By NASA Goddard, https://images.nasa.gov/details-GSFC_20171208_Archive_e000033 Animation is created by Bright Side. —————————————————————————————- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru —————————————————————————————- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me
