Data from Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft shows that the asteroid Ryugu is as highly porous as it is
The Hayabusa 2 spacecraft explodes the surface of Ryugu, creating a sinkhole to help scientists understand the asteroid's composition.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said the Hayabusa 2 probe had left the asteroid Ryugu and was on its way back to Earth.
Hayabusa 2 dropped MINERVA-II2, a robot whose main task was to study the gravity of the asteroid Ryugu, before returning to Earth.
The landing robot will land on the asteroid Ryugu and collect samples to help scientists learn about the early solar system.

JAXA said the country's Hayabusa 2 explorer ship began the process of landing at the Ryugu asteroid ...
On October 3, Japan's unmanned aerial probe Hayabusa2 brought Mascot - a new observation robot - onto the Ryugu asteroid.
Since arriving at Ryugu asteroid in June this year, the Hayabusa2 Spacecraft probe has studied 54,000 points on its surface.
According to the plan, this ship will make three landings on Ryugu to collect soil samples. The first landing is scheduled for September or October.
