In December 2020, the Hayabusa 2 space probe returned with samples from asteroid Ryugu. Since then, the few grams of material have undergone extensive analysis at laboratories worldwide, including the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS). One of the key studies at MPS focused on metal isotopes within the samples, which can help pinpoint Ryugu's origin within the Solar System.
