Asteroid Bennu

This is from You Tube via Astronomy Picture of the Day for 12/12/20.
A video of Asteroid Bennu, first of all with speeded up spin, then zooming in to a prominent rock on the surface (given the name Simurgh apparently,) as shot from spacecraft OSIRIS-REx shortly to try to land and get a sample of Bennu to bring back to Earth.
It’s still thrilling to me that we as a species can do and see things like this.
