The video discusses NASA's Osiris Rex mission to the asteroid Bennu, a primitive object from the solar system's birth. The mission aims to orbit Bennu and return a sample. It also explores Earth's Lagrangian point L4, where gravitational forces allow objects to remain trapped. The video speculates on the existence of Earth Trojans, similar to those found at Jupiter's L4. Osiris Rex will begin scanning for these objects on February 9th.

What is the primary goal of the Osiris Rex mission?

• To orbit Jupiter

• To study the Sun

• To explore Mars

• To visit and sample asteroid Bennu

What is a Lagrangian point?

• A location where asteroids are formed

• A point in space with no gravity

• A region where gravitational forces cancel out

• A point where two celestial bodies collide

What are Trojans in the context of space?

• Small bodies trapped in a stable orbit

• Comets passing through the solar system

• Large planets orbiting the Sun

• Satellites orbiting Earth

What makes the Earth's L4 point significant?

• It is where the Moon orbits Earth

• It is a potential location for Earth Trojans

• It is the center of the solar system

• It is the closest point to the Sun

What will Osiris Rex do at the L4 point?

• Orbit the Moon

• Communicate with Mars rovers

• Scan for Earth Trojans

• Collect samples from the Sun
