## Resource

China’s Tianwen-2 probe has arrived at asteroid Kamo’oalewa, a rare quasi-satellite orbiting the sun nearly in sync with Earth. Equipped with advanced cameras and a detachable sampling tool, the probe will map the asteroid’s shape, composition, and internal structure—potentially rewriting our understanding of solar system origins. Once thought to be a lunar fragment, new evidence suggests Kamo’oalewa may instead hail from the Flora asteroid family, offering a unique window into primordial materials and the early evolution of our cosmic neighborhood.
