NASA ‘fist bumps’ an asteroid to reveal Solar System’s secrets Not only does Bennu contain all 5 of the nucleobases that form DNA and RNA on Earth and 14 of the 20 amino acids found in known proteins, ...

Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

Samples contain all five nucleobases of DNA and RNA, supporting theory that asteroids may have seeded Earth with life's essential ingredients.

There are 20 amino acids that create the proteins required for life on our planet — and scientists have now found exactly 14 ...

Present in the samples were 14 of the 20 organic compounds called amino acids that are used to make proteins - complex ...

Rock and dust samples brought back to Earth from the asteroid Bennu contain organic matter and a variety of minerals crucial to the emergence of life ...

Scientists from NASA and other institutions who have been analyzing the Bennu asteroid sample that returned to Earth last ...

Scientists discovered numerous organic compounds in samples from the asteroid Bennu, including key amino acids, DNA, and RNA. This finding suggests that the chemical components essential for life ...

Bennu’s parent asteroid, which formed around 4.5 billion years ago, seems to have been home to pockets of liquid water.
