Japan will research the origins of the Solar System.

Japanese astronomers will study samples of soil, taken from a distant asteroid to try
and discover the heat source that changed that celestial body.
The scientists from the Japanese space agency are trying to discover how water
evaporates on the asteroid, with hope that there will be clues that will point out the
origin of the Solar System and life on Earth. Already they have tested 5.4 grams of
soil, far more than the minimal sample of 0.1 grams they had hoped for.
In December a spacecraft called “Hajabusa 2” returned from Space with a sample of
soil from the asteroid Rjugu, which is located 300+ million kilometers from Earth. The
temperature on the asteroid surpasses 300 degrees Celcius, according to scientists
from the Japanese University of Aizua.
The probe landed on the celestial body in april 2019 and for the second time three
months later.
Possible traces of organic matter.
The scientists also point out that the temperature under the surface of a planet can’t
reach such heights only from the heat of the Sun which indicates that the asteroid
Rjugu, while it was part of a larger parent body billions of years ago, was affected by
internal heat radiation or planetary collisions.
The Japanese space agency continues with its initial testing of asteroid samples,
and more extensive experiments are planned for next year.
The scientists are searching for possible clues of organic matter with hope that they
will find some answers for the origin of the Solar System and life on Earth.
