Organic materials have been found on meteorites before, but Yabusa was the first time a sample of an "S-type" asteroid was observed to contain organic molecules. It even came directly from the source, and was not subjected to significant periods of time on Earth before being tested.

This dynamic image was taken by the 1A probe on September 22 at around 11:44 Japan time (15:44 Israel time). The image shows the surface of the asteroid Ryugo during a jump. In the left half of the image, the surface of Ryogo is visible, while the bright spot on the left side was created as a result of exposure to sunlight.
