Asteroid Bennu is rough and rocky, so if you look at it from a different angle or capture it at a time when the sun is not directly overhead, that dramatically changes what the surface looks like, these images were deliberately taken close to noon, with the Sun shining straight down, when there's not as many shadows.

Bennu continues to surprise us with great science and also throwing a few curveballs, although we may have to move more quickly to stow the sample, it's not a bad problem to have. We are so excited to see what appears to be an abundant sample that will inspire science for decades beyond this historic moment.

After over a decade of planning, the team is overjoyed at the success of today's sampling attempt, even though we have some work ahead of us to determine the outcome of the event -- the successful contact, the TAGSAM gas firing, and back-away from Asteroid Bennu are major accomplishments for the team. I look forward to analyzing the data to determine the mass of sample collected.
