An international team of scientists found"bio-essential" sugars in meteorites, which also contain other biologically important compounds, according to a press release from NASA on Tuesday.Asteroids -- rocky near-Earth objects which orbit the sun -- are the parent bodies of most meteorites. And the theory suggests that chemical reactions within asteroids can create some of the elements essential to life.
The discovery of ribose also suggests that RNA evolved before DNA, giving scientists a clearer picture of how life may have formed.DNA has long been regarded as"the template for life" -- but RNA molecules have more capabilities, like replicating without the help of other molecules, according to the press release.
Sugar, we're going down
And we know salt is from rock. If they spend enough they might claim pepper is there also. 😀 Ignorant people think life started in a mud puddle.
What a wast of tax payer money. It would be better spent on transgender and non-binary awareness campaigns 😤
Interesting
VeengasJ Why cnn repeating same story again lol
absolute nonsense
Yeah and a mormon probably wrote this dumb article. Next.
We are all aliens
👏🏽🙂
Asteroids may become careful in recent time
Sugar-crusted spherules?.... the Milky way?....Mars! Hmmm.
mayby steroids? A_steroid😁😁
the human race is smart but no body is looking at the big picture everyone is scrabbling there will be another earth the math says so we have to start star jumping
Next is flour. Turns out we’re just a cake being made.
Pure energy!!!!
The sugar stayed intact a for billions of years? Lol ok
Give me a break
Start a brand, 'sugar from the stars.' I bet the hipster coffee shops would showcase it. P.s. it doesnt even have to be good.
Just what I need. More sugar!!!
My wife is similar
Organic compounds in space rocks? Shocking, considering that the Earth is literally a giant space rock.😒
ScienceNews science coffeeaddict Note: meteors become meteorites when they hit Earth. 'They've discovered meteorites contain sugar!' 'Great! Now we don't have to pack it for our voyage to Ryugu & Eros.' 'If they discover coffee & creamer, we'll really lighten our load.'
'Meteorites Responsible For Obesity Crisis'
No wonder we haven’t found any aliens, they’ve all died of diabetes.
Sooo, obese asteroids are diabetic
I wonder how much tones of millions wights is heavy the earth to floute on the space then what's the air pressure to holds, so I don't believe that an artifact can handle it will be shattered
Cnn
Who stole my Mars Bar?
Is that what 'Sweet heavens' mean?
Or passed through intergalactic McDonalds
It’s the ingredient for coffee. You are fake news
Do sugars replicate?
And just think no Tariffs
Does this mean there is free alcohol potentially floating around in space? If not, shouldn't we be shooting yeast rockets towards these meteorites? 🧐
I call foul
Democrats will want a asteroid sugar tax now.
That is of course if you actually believe the fallacy that the earth is billions of years old
Have any meteorites been found that contain half-and-half?
Sweet...
Waiting for the 'Genesis rock.'
Sugar no .. enough if diabetics in the worlds ...
morgfair No empty Starbucks cups?
morgfair Many minerals came to earth in meteors
eutimius 😂 😂 Not really interested
Hypothesis vs. Almighty GOD
i think that has a very simple explanation like mold. phony sensation
I think there was civilization in the past. 🤥
NASA scientist dripped his coffee into the specimens. too much hallucination
Meteorites that crashed into Earth billions of years ago.... They could have been sent with so much precision by wiser beings (than all of us today). The 'moon' could have been made and positioned correctly to keep us fairly on the same obit by some wise 'living' beings.
That must be why their impact creates a cavity.
So aliens deal with Diabetes too? I wonder what they call it...🤔
Sweet
Yes the asteroid that hit the earth 6 billion years ago and... hey wait a minute? 😳
Ohhh woww that's so cool now we can say that 'Meteorite is so sweet' 😁
And the recipe for death
Orrr some Martian just spilled his coffee.
my godt. life and death on a rock!
Cool... So I’ll be fat in outer space, too...
May be after crashing into earth the sugars got in them through a kind of osmosis or diffusion process....
rock candy
Research more and maybe you guys will find wheat and salt connected too. Jokers
