Sugars, ‘Gum,’ Stardust Found in NASA’s Asteroid Bennu Samples The asteroid Bennu continues to provide new clues to scientists’ biggest questions about the formation of the early solar system and the origins of life As part of the ongoing study of pristine samples delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft, three new papers published Tuesday by the
Stardust Found in NASA Bennu Samples: Life’s Molecular . . . Genetic Component Discoveries in Asteroid Material Stardust found in NASA samples contains all five nucleobases constructing DNA and RNA Phosphate and amino acid discoveries precede recent sugar identifications Complete RNA molecular components now identified in asteroid material Bennu demonstrates systematic availability of biological
Sugars, gum-like compounds, and stardust found in Bennu - MSN One analysis of the samples notes that Studying pristine grains from Bennu, analysts detected biologically important sugars alongside an enigmatic gum-like or plastic-like material and stardust
Bio-essential sugars in samples from asteroid Bennu - Nature Samples returned from asteroid Bennu contain bio-essential sugars such as ribose and glucose that may have formed in the parent asteroid from brines containing formaldehyde, according to a
