Hayabusa2 sample returns suggest asteroid Ryugu was struck by a swarm of tiny impactors ~1,000 years ago New analyses of samples returned to Earth by Japan’s Hayabusa2 indicate Ryugu carries scarring consistent with a relatively recent bombardment by swarms of small space rocks. The inferred timing—about 1,000 years ago—points to ongoing resurfacing processes on near-Earth asteroids.
