This first-time glucose detection, coupled with the lack of deoxyribose, strongly supports the 'RNA world' hypothesis

NASA’s Bennu samples have revealed an unexpected mix of sugars, sticky 'gum-like' material and ancient stardust. Scientists say the discovery could reshape what we know about the early Solar System and the origins of life https://english.mathrubhumi.com/technology/science/could-asteroid-bennus-mysterious-space-gum-reveal-how-life-began-cwf9qp17?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #NASA #Asteroid #Bennu #SolarSystem #Science
Given the sample return from Bennu has shown a number of molecules that are linked to life etc, should we look at undertaking follow-up missions to return more samples,

3I ATLAS: Tails of an Interstellar #Comet
Studying comet 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar visitor, suggests our Solar System is typical. It shares characteristics with our comets, like composition and dust ejection. Captured in Texas, the image shows a green coma and blue ion tail—common features. After its December #Earth flyby, it'll exit our system forever.

Eskorte für erdnahen Asteroiden Apophis
Anders als zunächst befürchtet wird Asteroid Apophis nicht in d. Erde einschlagen. Stattdessen erhält er Besuch: Die ESA schickt eine Raumsonde auf Abfangkurs.
"
".. Ramses Plasma Spektrometer (RPS) .. wird v. MPS in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Weltraumphysik im schwed. Kiruna mit auf d. Reise geschickt."

"Rund 218 Millionen Euro zur Abwehr von Gefahren aus dem Weltraum wie Asteroiden und Sonneneruptionen" Die Mission #RAMSES wird am 13. April 2029 LIVE dabei sein, wenn der #Asteroid #99942Apophis innerhalb des geostationären Orbit an der Erde vorbei fliegt.
Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, has been found to exist on #Bennu, a small #asteroid that swings by our #planet about every six years.
The discovery stems from an unprecedented sample collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission, which landed a #spacecraft on the asteroid in 2020, captured 121.6 grams of rocks and dust, and safely returned the cache to Earth in 2023.
Studying Bennu is important because its composition reflects that of the early solar system, giving scientists a glimpse into the beginnings of #life.
Finding tryptophan in the Bennu asteroid is a big deal, because #tryptophan is one of the more complex amino acids, and until now it had never been seen in any #meteorite or space sample.
The presence of tryptophan in an asteroid supports the idea that the recipe for life might not have begun only on Earth. Seeing it form naturally in space tells us that these ingredients were already being made out in the early Solar System. That would have made it easier for life to get started.

🦖🍽️ The #asteroid that killed #dinosaurs 66 million years ago transformed #Earth's #forests from open canopy to dense #rainforests, creating new ecological niches where many of today's #food crops first evolved.
Field Museum paleobotanist Mike Donovan explains how green beans, yams, #coffee, cacao, and other #Thanksgiving staples only began developing after dinosaurs disappeared, making these foundational foods a direct consequence of the mass extinction event.
