NASA and its partners have published the first wave of information about the samples collected on the Osiris-Rex mission. “The results do not show evidence of life itself, but it indicates that the conditions necessary for the emergence of life were widespread through the early solar system, which increased the possibilities of life on other planets and moons,” NASA said in A. press release.
The Osiris-Rex mission used some beautiful Wonderful technology To independently acquire rocks and dust from an asteroid called Bennu. Asteroids can work as time capsules, and Bennu reflects what was happening in the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago. After a total trip of 3.9 billion miles, the capsule Return Safety to Earth on September 24, 2023.
One sheet on Pino, appears in the magazine Nature astronomyIt revealed that the samples contain 14 amino acids and five nucleops are also present in the forms of life on Earth. They also revealed high levels of ammonia in Bennu samples, as well as formaldehyde; When these two people collect in appropriate conditions, they can form complex molecules such as amino acids.
The second publication appeared in natureAnd detailing the environment formed by those molecules in which they were formed. Its evaluation found evidence of “saline solution”, where he identified a group of minerals that could have been left behind with salty water.
“Data from Osiris -RX adds major brush strokes to a picture of a solar system teeming with the possibility of life,” said Jason Derkin, the scientist of Osrice Rex project in NASA Godard. “Why, until now, we see life on Earth only and not elsewhere, this is the really confused question.”
