The scientists from Japan conducted the asteroid Ryugu's sample analysis using electron holography technique.

Analysis of asteroid Ryugu samples hints at its surface property changes over time, some most likely due to collisions with micrometeoroids.

The Japanese Space Agency’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft traveled far, arriving at the asteroid Ryugu in June 2018.
