>> we're trying to learn what planets are made of. where did the water and the organic molecules on the earth and other planets come from? and here's here's some samples of that that are going to come back to the earth to be studied in laboratories all over the world for decades studying asteroids is critical for hundreds of scientists around the world, in part because of the fear that one could collide with our planet. >> remember that scene in the hit movie armageddon zero barrier is about to be breached . nasa scientists predict a slim 1 in 2700 chance that the asteroid bennu said to be as big as the empire state building could strike earth far, far into the future. in the year 2182. now, the osiris rex spacecraft, which stayed at the edge of space after releasing the capsule, slingshots back into the deep unknown for its next mission. a sample from another asteroid, apophis. >> that was. abc's gio benitez

reporting on that touchdown for science. the sample landed in the utah desert at 752 this morning. that's our time right now. crews are trying to recover the capsule. and once they do that, they will send it to nasa. so scientists can start analyzing the asteroid piece. so some exciting science going on in space back here on earth and also right here in our abc seven studios with meteorologist lisa arjun, who's been tracking our forecast. >> yeah, and you know, a lot going on for september. there's an atmosphere river aimed at the pacific northwest coast and you can see the moisture headed up to the north of us. a couple of inches of rain here. the good news is the fantastic news is fire ending. rain for oregon. extreme northern california. we will get just a little piece of a dissipating front for late tomorrow. here's a look at live doppler seven. you can see the cloud cover all over the north bay. certainly sunny in our inland valleys and also along the peninsula, breaking up. and we are looking at much better air quality for some of us from
