2019-12-12 – The Nightingale site, located near asteroid Bennu's north pole, was selected as the OSIRIS-REx mission final sample site.

These detailed views of the location (complete with boulders, craters and other geological features) are based on a series of measurements taken by the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter OLA, the Canadian laser instrument aboard NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.
