Bennu asteroid analysis suggests unexpected origins for organics in space
Summary
Samples from the Bennu asteroid, which is currently more than 200 million miles (322 million kilometers) from Earth, and the Murchison meteorite, which fell to Earth in 1969, both contain molecules that build proteins necessary for life. New research has found that the molecules may have formed through the same process but originated far from one another in the solar system.
