NASA has lifted the lid on its first findings about the Bennu sample, one of the "most hazardous known asteroids". The highly-anticipated sample from the OSIRIS-REx’s mission took seven years to complete and finally made a safe landing on Sunday 24 September. Scientists audibly gasped upon opening the capsule. They kept details to a minimum and maintained a slow pace in progress for "good reason," as they received more material than expected. "The abundance of material found when the science canister lid was removed earlier this week has meant that the process of disassembling the TAGSAM (Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism) head – which holds the bulk of material from the asteroid – is off to a methodical start," they said a the time. That was until now... On Wednesday 11 October, the space agency shared details for the first time from NASA experts and the University of Arizona. NASA said there were signs of water and carbon on the sample through hydrated clay minerals that contain carbon. "At nearly 5% carbon by weight, carbon being the central element of life, far exceeding our goal of 60g, this is the biggest carbon-rich asteroid sample ever returned to earth," Administrator Bill Nelson said, adding that it was "exactly the kind of material that we wanted to find." He went on to suggest that "they are going to help us determine the origin of elements that could have led to life" and provide a greater understanding of how to protect Earth from asteroids. Scientists also revealed that the sample contained space dust from asteroid Bennu. NASA showed the audience the sample on a video to protect the sample and to prevent contamination. Speaking about working through a glove box to analyse the sample, Francis McCubbin, astronomical curator at NASA's Johnson Space Centre said: "[It is] "hard, challenging work, and it does not go quickly, but we need to do this right". The samples will be preserved so that "scientists that aren't even born yet are going to have the opportunity to answer questions about our universe with these samples using technology that has not even been invented."

It's becoming tremendous television.

A dermatologist has gone viral on TikTok for sharing body parts you should be washing more. In a clip that's racked up over 3.3 million views, Lindsey Zubritsky (@dermguru) kickstarts with the ears. She said if you have "an odour" when you place your finger behind your ears, you need to be washing that area more. If not, "flaking and dandruff" can build up and make the skin situation much worse. Up second is the belly button. Lindsey states that it "is a super common area to collect sweat, debris, dirt buildup," before sharing a gruesome image of a "navel stone" if you begin to neglect your belly button. The dermatologist then urges people to really take care of their nails. "When you’re showering, you really need to get under those nails with a scrub brush to get rid of the dirt, debris, and buildup," she told viewers. She went on to explain that these common areas are at risk of carrying MRSA, a group of difficult-to-treat infections in humans. @dermguru Think twice next time you take a shower #showertok #skintips #hygienetips #dermguru #staph #mrsa #skininfection #folliculitis #dermexplains#greenscreen Inevitably, the clip was inundated with fellow TikTok users, with one writing: "Absolutely blows my mind people aren’t scrubbing the nails, esp long ones. Just get a cheap toothbrush and scrub with soap. Every day!" Another confused user asked: "Wait who isn’t cleaning these areas?" A TikTok user, who claimed to work as a nurse, added: "I can confirm many people DO NOT clean their belly buttons enough." Meanwhile, a fellow TikToker wrote "wait who isn’t cleaning these areas," to which Lindsey responded: "Momma knows best."
