Bennu asteroid examples contain ‘life content’, studies emerge

Basic components found for the creation of life in Bennu asteroid examples It was gathered during a NASA mission that returned to Earth in September 2023. The results are new analyzes on the material released on Wednesday.

According to the articles published in Nature And Nature astronomySpace Rock “Materials of Life” A wide variety of amino acids, including 14 out of 20 out of 20 used by the world to produce protein. DNA – Adenine, Guanin, Cytosine and Timi nucleobases were also defined.

In addition, scientists found large amounts of salt and minerals, which showed that asteroid Bennu was water and ammonia, which is important for biochemical reactions. Some of these elements are detected in parts of other celestial bodies falling to the earth, but not all.

“NASA’s Osiris-Rex mission is already rewriting the textbook about what we understand about the beginning of our solar system. Asteroids provide a time capsule for the history of our home planet. Bennu’s examples are necessary to understand which components in our solar system exist before the beginning of life in the world.”US Space Agency manager Nicky Fox said in a statement.

Spreading life through the solar system

According to the authors of the study, the latest discoveries about Bennu’s examples reinforce the thesis that the conditions for the emergence of life spread throughout the primitive solar system. In addition, they support the theories in which basic amino acids are caused by another place for the life on our planet.

They believe in this way Evidence increases the chances of life to graduate in other planets and months. However, at least the reasons why life has not yet been discovered from the world.

To answer this question, scientists say that more detailed research may take decades to complete than dust with asteroid collections. At the same time, you need to advance in space search projects, tasks are directed towards planets with the chance to offer life.
