The history of how Bennu came to be

Exactly as the title indicates, this YouTube video from NASA contains more than just excellent graphics … there is a whole lot of theory here, condensed in a way that only NASA can do.  It is understandable, believable and even though it was created well before the mission was set to even go to the asteroid, it takes us directly to the point as to why it is so important we study Bennu in the first place.

Enjoy!
