When I think about summer, I think of the carefree days I spent playing kickball, kick-the-can, and tag with the kids in my neighborhood. We would run around all day until we finally needed to cool off, which meant we would go to whoever’s house had the most sodas, ice cream, or popsicles. “Keep the door closed, we can’t afford to cool down the whole neighborhood,” a parent would often yell when we inevitably threw our bikes down and ran through the front door and straight for the fridge.

The chemical composition of samples collected from the asteroid 162173 Ryugu are strikingly similar to that of the Sun, say members of a team tasked with analysing samples of Ryugu collected by the Hayabusa2 mission. The result suggests that previously observed discrepancies between Ryugu’s composition and that of meteorites known as CI chondrites may be due to the different conditions that they experienced after their formation, rather than a different origin.
