What did the Hayabusa2 mission discover from asteroid Ryugu?

The Hayabusa2 space probe successfully collected an unexpected abundance of pristine asteroid dust and gas samples from Ryugu, located approximately 200 million miles from Earth. During its six-year mission, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) spacecraft made two daring touchdowns on the asteroid, retrieving surface material and gases that left scientists speechless. These samples, which have now returned to Earth, represent a major scientific milestone that will provide crucial insights into the origins of our solar system and potentially life on Earth.
