An asteroid visit has been confirmed. Dust and gas samples were collected from the asteroid and safely brought back to earth. Subsequently, this is the second attempt as the first one failed. The container did not contain any samples. The gas retrieval marks for the first time this sterling achievement. Although the soil sample is small. It is more than sufficient to allow proper analysis. The analysis of asteroid material is very important. Earth did not start off as a wet planet. An asteroid impacting it that had water propagated the existence of water. Asteroids are the building blocks and as such are critical to understanding our beginnings. The scientific equipment used to analyze such samples is another potential prize. These will give us not only insight into asteroid composition. It will lead to further scientific advancements in equipment analysis development and new discoveries.
