ALT The sample return capsule from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission is seen shortly after touching down in the desert in Utah. The capsule is a blunt-nosed cone, like an upside-down cupcake, is approximately an arm's-width across, and is charred from reentry from space. It sits on desert scrub land dotted by sparse green vegetation. Stark mountains rise along the horizon. Credit: NASA/Keegan Barber
