Huge congratulations to the teams involved in this mission. Having such a large quantity of prehistoric asteroid securely in our possession is a wild feat of engineering and science.
Looking forward to more exciting news... this news is based on the "extra" material that was stuck outside the main chamber.

Very interesting! I don't know much about this and the article did not go into detail: What does "organics" mean specifically?

The only way this news could be more awesome would be if the asteroid was shot with a mining laser and the fragments picked up by a fuel scoop.

Is this the first time material has been brought to Earth from a non-Lunar body?

Anyone know why the (only?) picture is in black and white? It seems taking one with color wouldn't be any more difficult...

Nothing about metal content?

Kurzgesagt just posted a video that speculates that life was possible
every where when the entire universe was at the temperature range of liquid water as it cooled after the big bang.
