  • Scientists measure the albedo of different,

  • well-known materials in labs. Astronomers measure the albedo of planets, moons, comets

  • and asteroids through telescopes. They compare albedos and spectral observations of asteroids

  • to learn about asteroid surfaces and composition

  • Bennu's albedo is .04 to .05, which tells scientists

  • that it is dark and probably carbon-rich. OSIRIS-REx's visit to Bennu will help scientists

  • refine the measurements of its albedo and other characteristics. To learn more about

  • Bennu, albedo and OSIRIS-REx, click on the links. This video is an OSIRIS-REx production.

  • OSIRIS-REx is a partnership of the University of Arizona, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
