The parent body of asteroid Ryugu appears to have harbored water in the form of ice for over a billion years, Japanese researchers have found, in a discovery that could reshape ideas on how the Earth got its oceans. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/11/japan/science-health/ryugu-asteroids-water-earth/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sciencehealth #hayabusa2 #space #astronomy #asteroids #planets #ryugu

[SummerNews #5 ] For the first time, large-scale #PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) (> 50 #carbon atoms) have been discovered in a carbonaceous #asteroid sample: #Ryugu 👍 👏

Brought back by the #Hayabusa2 mission from JAXA, this sample was the subject of a unique #surface mass spectrometry technique based on two-stage #laser desorption/ionization, available on the #AROMA device at IRAP.

[ActuEstivale #5] Pour la première fois, des #PAH (hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques) de grande taille (> 50 atomes de #carbone) ont été découverts dans un échantillon d' #astéroïde carboné : #Ryugu 👍 👏

Rapporté par la mission #Hayabusa2 de la JAXA, cet échantillon a fait l'objet d'une technique unique de #spectrométrie de masse de surface basée sur la désorption/ionisation #laser en deux étapes, disponible sur le dispositif #AROMA à l’IRAP..

Our Communication Hall on the JAXA Sagamihara Campus has got a cool new exhibit! Step inside this dome and you’ll see a video of the #Hayabusa2 spacecraft touching down on asteroid Ryugu! You have a choice of 4 buttons that lets you change your view, and in June, there’ll be controls to let you try your own landing! It’s been designed with #VSP (Virtual Space Program) who are a group in Japan who develop really outstanding #VR content.

"Here we report the detection of uracil, one of the four nucleobases in ribonucleic acid, in aqueous extracts from Ryugu samples. In addition, nicotinic acid (niacin, a B3 vitamer), its derivatives, and imidazoles were detected in search for nitrogen heterocyclic molecules."

This is an important step in detecting life and also it's origins in the universe.

Samples of #asteroid #Ryugu collected by #Hayabusa2 had #uracil, one of the informational units that make up #RNA, the molecules that contain the instructions for how to build and operate living organisms. Vitamin #B3 or #niacin, which is an important cofactor for #metabolism in living organisms, was also detected in the same samples

Good news. The ion engine on Hayabusa2 has been tested with no problems found, and it is scheduled to start the return journey from asteroid Ryugu on Dec 3, according to this tweet by JAXA.
