What did the Hayabusa2 mission collect from asteroid Ryugu?

The Hayabusa2 space probe successfully collected multiple samples from asteroid Ryugu, located approximately 200 million miles from Earth. During its unprecedented six-year mission, the probe performed two touchdowns on the asteroid, gathering both surface dust and pristine subsurface material. Scientists were amazed by the quantity of samples retrieved, which included black particles described as soil and sand, along with gas samples. JAXA Project Manager Yuichi Tsuda confirmed they collected 'a good amount of sand apparently collected from asteroid Ryugu along with gases,' calling this return a major scientific milestone.
