NASA is bringing pieces of an asteroid to Earth to try and get a better understanding of it.
The asteroid is called Bennu and NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft was launched in 2016 to get in orbit with it so it can grab samples.
The samples are set to be dropped into the Utah desert on September 24.
A team of scientists will decide if it is safe to drop the sample capsule when the day comes.
