Japan's space capsule Hayabusa 2 carrying asteroid dust might hold clues to the origin of planets

This machine graphics image released by the Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) shows the Hayabusa2 spacecraft above the asteroid Ryugu.

Japan's space agency was in pursuit of a space probe that landed back to Earth around 6 years before now. Recently, their search finally rested when they found the space probe that landed on remote regions of southern Australia. Japan’s helicopter search team found the capsule that might hold clues to formation of solar system and also to the origins of water molecules.

Hayabusa2 had successfully released the small capsule on Saturday and projected it towards Earth to deliver sample dusts from a distant asteroid that could provide hint to the origin of our solar system and life on earth, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) added.

Earlier this Sunday the capsule due to aero-friction turned into a fireball as it returned to the earth's atmosphere, 120 Km above the earth. A parachute was opened to accelerate the resistant to its speed, 10 Km above the land. On arrival, the capsule transmitted beacon signals to help JAXA identify its geographical coordinates.

In the recent times, many nations are highlighting new achievements in the field of space exploration. One being
