  • Barnes, J. (2025). Abundant ammonia and nitrogen-rich soluble organic matter in samples from asteroid (101955) Bennu. Nature Astronomy, 9(Issue 2). doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02472-9
    More info
    Organic matter in meteorites reveals clues about early Solar System chemistry and the origin of molecules important to life, but terrestrial exposure complicates interpretation. Samples returned from the B-type asteroid Bennu by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith Explorer mission enabled us to study pristine carbonaceous astromaterial without uncontrolled exposure to Earth’s biosphere. Here we show that Bennu samples are volatile rich, with more carbon, nitrogen and ammonia than samples from asteroid Ryugu and most meteorites. Nitrogen-15 isotopic enrichments indicate that ammonia and other N-containing soluble molecules formed in a cold molecular cloud or the outer protoplanetary disk. We detected amino acids (including 14 of the 20 used in terrestrial biology), amines, formaldehyde, carboxylic acids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and N-heterocycles (including all five nucleobases found in DNA and RNA), along with ~10,000 N-bearing chemical species. All chiral non-protein amino acids were racemic or nearly so, implying that terrestrial life’s left-handed chirality may not be due to bias in prebiotic molecules delivered by impacts. The relative abundances of amino acids and other soluble organics suggest formation and alteration by low-temperature reactions, possibly in NH3-rich fluids. Bennu’s parent asteroid developed in or accreted ices from a reservoir in the outer Solar System where ammonia ice was stable.

    More info
    Evaporation or freezing of water-rich fluids with dilute concentrations of dissolved salts can produce brines, as observed in closed basins on Earth1 and detected by remote sensing on icy bodies in the outer Solar System2,3. The mineralogical evolution of these brines is well understood in regard to terrestrial environments4, but poorly constrained for extraterrestrial systems owing to a lack of direct sampling. Here we report the occurrence of salt minerals in samples of the asteroid (101955) Bennu returned by the OSIRIS-REx mission5. These include sodium-bearing phosphates and sodium-rich carbonates, sulfates, chlorides and fluorides formed during evaporation of a late-stage brine that existed early in the history of Bennu’s parent body. Discovery of diverse salts would not be possible without mission sample return and careful curation and storage, because these decompose with prolonged exposure to Earth’s atmosphere. Similar brines probably still occur in the interior of icy bodies Ceres and Enceladus, as indicated by spectra or measurement of sodium carbonate on the surface or in plumes2,3.
  • Barnes, J. (2025). An overview of the petrography and petrology of particles from aggregate sample from asteroid Bennu. Meteoritics and Planetary Science, 60(Issue 5). doi:10.1111/maps.14335
    More info
    The OSIRIS-REx mission returned a sample of regolith from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu in September 2023. We present preliminary in situ investigations of the petrology and petrography of selected particles ranging in size from 0.5 to 3 mm. Using a combination of optical and electron beam techniques, we investigate whole specimens and polished sections belonging to morphologically and visually distinct categories of particles. We find that morphological differences in the particles are reflective of petrographic and petrologic differences, leading to the conclusion that we have at least two distinct major lithologies in the bulk sample. Our findings support predictions from remote sensing, suggesting that the morphological differences observed in the boulder population of Bennu correspond to petrologic differences. Our data provide insight into the geologic activity on Bennu's parent body and the petrographic framework needed to contextualize the detailed analyses of this pristine asteroidal material.
  • Barnes, J. (2025). Mineralogical evidence for hydrothermal alteration of Bennu samples. Nature Geoscience, 18(Issue 9). doi:10.1038/s41561-025-01741-0
    More info
    Samples of asteroid (101955) Bennu delivered by the OSIRIS-REx mission offer the opportunity to study pristine planetary materials unchanged by exposure to the terrestrial environment. Here we use a combination of X-ray diffraction and various electron microscopy techniques to explore the detailed mineralogy of Bennu samples and determine the alteration history of the planetesimal protolith from which they originated. The samples consist largely of hydrated sheet-silicate minerals, namely nanoscale serpentine and saponite of varied grain size, which are decorated with micro- to nanoscale Fe-sulfides, magnetite and carbonates. We observe sheet silicates parallel and normal to sulfide surfaces and as inclusions in sulfides; sulfur-rich veins transecting the sheet-silicate matrix; zoned carbonates and phosphates and sulfide and magnetite grains exhibiting embayment. The mineralogical evidence indicates alteration of accreted minerals by a fluid that evolved with time, leading to etching, dissolution and reprecipitation. Sulfide compositions indicate alteration at ~25 °C, similar to conditions inferred for asteroid (162173) Ryugu and Ivuna-type (CI) chondrite meteorites. The fluid probably evolved from neutral to alkaline, culminating with the precipitation of highly soluble salts. We conclude that Bennu’s protolith comprised mainly nanometre to micrometre silicates, with fewer chondrules and calcium–aluminium-rich inclusions than those of most chondrite groups.
  • Barnes, J. (2025). Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu. Meteoritics and Planetary Science. doi:10.1111/maps.70058
    More info
    We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles. These analyses confirm the similarities of Bennu material with Ivuna-type carbonaceous (CI) chondrites. The nitrogen isotopic compositions show intra- and inter-particle variations, pointing to the heterogeneous distribution of various N-bearing phases, while the abundances of nitrogen are within the range of those measured in CIs. Noble gas data indicate mixing between Q-like noble gases (a ubiquitous noble gas component found in most classes of primitive meteorites, presumably formed by noble gas incorporation into organic materials within the ionized regions of the parent cloud or in the protoplanetary disk) and various presolar components originally hosted by refractory grains that survived the high enthalpy birth of the solar system. The noble gases also include secondary contributions of three types: (i) noble gas isotopes produced by radioactivity, (ii) solar wind implantation, mostly identified in the light noble gas (He and Ne) isotopic compositions, and (iii) cosmogenic noble gases produced by interaction with high-energy cosmic rays, permitting us to estimate how long fresh surfaces were irradiated. We find that cosmic ray exposure (CRE) durations of Bennu material vary mostly between 1 and 3 Ma. These CRE ages are consistent with (i) radionuclide studies suggesting surface exposure for 2–7 Ma, (ii) small crater retention ages of 1.6–2.2 Ma, and (iii) the 1.75 ± 0.75 million years that Bennu is estimated to have been dynamically decoupled from the asteroid belt. In contrast to CRE ages, we find a maximum duration of solar wind irradiation of ≤100,000 a, in agreement with exposure duration of
  • Barnes, J. (2025). Rare Phosphides and Nitrides in Igneous Clasts within Aqueously Altered Chondrites. Planetary Science Journal, 6(Issue 5). doi:10.3847/psj/adce00
    More info
    Chondritic meteorites and their components provide us with the means to investigate the conditions and processes in the early solar system, including the delivery of bio-essential elements, such as phosphorus, to the early Earth. In this work, we report on three additional identifications of the rare phosphide mineral andreyivanovite (FeCrP) and the first identifications of the related phosphide allabogdanite ((Fe,Ni)2P) and the nitride carlsbergite (CrN) in carbonaceous chondrites. We investigated multiple clusters of individual clasts in the C2-ungrouped chondrites Tarda and Tagish Lake and a single clast bearing andreyivanovite in the CM2 chondrite Moapa Valley, more than doubling the previously known extraterrestrial occurrences of this mineral. In all three meteorites, andreyivanovite was identified in distinct clasts as elongated lathes set in a groundmass of phyllosilicate minerals. The related phosphide allabogdanite and the Cr-nitride carlsbergite, both of which are found in iron meteorites, were identified in association with andreyivanovite in Tarda, providing further evidence that andreyivanovite and its host clasts in meteorites originally formed by solidification from a melted precursor and survived subsequent aqueous alteration that formed the phyllosilicate groundmasses. Furthermore, the difficulty of detecting allabogdanite and andreyivanovite without dedicated surveys, combined with the high abundance of andreyivanovite-bearing clasts observed in Tarda and Tagish Lake, suggests that andreyivanovite may be more common than previously thought and may be an important phase in the delivery of phosphorus to the early Earth.
  • Barnes, J. (2025). Two Slowly Cooled and Chemically Diverse Basalt Clasts Identified in ANGSA Core 73001. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 130(Issue 9). doi:10.1029/2025je009113
    More info
    The Apollo 17 mission returned a double drive tube, 73001/73002, which was opened after ∼50 years and made available to the community through the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) program. Here, we investigate the petrogenesis of two basalt clasts separated from the 73001 core, samples 73001,1095B and 73001,1234B. During the preliminary examination by NASA Curation using X-ray computed tomography, these clasts were categorized as high-Ti and low-Ti basalt clasts, respectively. Our subsequent investigation confirms a high-Ti affinity for 73001,1095B, but very low-Ti (VLT) affinity for 73001,1234B. We compare 73001,1095B to other high-Ti samples and show that the basalt represents a Type1B basalt. Based on the sample's low vesicularity in 3D, coarse-grained mineralogy in 2D and 3D, and complex exsolution features, this high-Ti basalt likely cooled slowly in the thermally insulated core of a lava flow. As VLT basalts are rare or undersampled in the lunar sample collection, the investigation of 73001,1234B with 3D techniques represents the first of its kind and offers an opportunity to more robustly understand the volcanic histories of VLT lavas. We observed low vesicularity in 3D, coarse-grained mineralogy, and coarse pyroxene exsolution in the VLT basalt in agreement with previous studies suggesting that VLT basalts likely represent samples from the slowest cooled lava flows on the lunar surface, or from a shallow intrusive body. We show from the combination of 2D and 3D studies applied to small returned samples lacking geologic context that a comprehensive interpretation of their crystallization histories can be obtained.

    More info
    As part of the LUNAR BRICS (Lunar Robotically Based Regolith Incorporated Construction) pathfinder mission, consideration was given to complementary scientific and geotechnical sensors and instrumentation. While the ultimate goal of the mission is to demonstrate lunar construction using regolith filled bags, it is imperative to study the physical and thermal properties of the surface and sub-surface so as to better understand both the bag filler material, as well as the supporting foundation. Several science and geotechnical goals, and their supporting instrumentation, are presented in meeting these objectives.
