NASA finds key molecules for life in OSIRIS-REx asteroid samples. Here's what that means
NASA's Bennu samples contain life's building blocks, including amino acids and DNA/RNA nucleobases
Samples contain all five nucleobases of DNA and RNA, supporting theory that asteroids may have seeded Earth with life's essential ingredients.
NASA finds building blocks for life in the Bennu asteroid sample
Scientists from NASA and other institutions who have been analyzing the Bennu asteroid sample that returned to Earth last September found molecules, including amino acids, which are essential ingredients of life as we know it.

Life’s ingredients discovered in samples Nasa probe returned from an asteroid
Samples returned from an asteroid contain a surprising abundance of the basic ingredients of life. They were discovered to be rich in carbon, nitrogen and ammonia, with over 30 kinds of amino acids and the five nucleobases found in RNA and DNA. 1 The asteroid, Bennu, was targeted by a Nasa mission that returned a capsule to Earth in September 2023.
NASA says asteroid sample contains building blocks of life
Scientists said they didn't find evidence of life on Bennu, but they did find evidence of the building blocks of life.
DNA building blocks found in asteroids for first time
The building blocks of DNA have been found in samples returned to Earth from an asteroid, suggesting life rained down from space and could have formed elsewhere...
Lurking Inside an Asteroid: Life’s Ingredients
Scientists studying samples that NASA collected from the asteroid Bennu found a wide assortment of organic molecules that shed light on how life arose.
NASA Alert! Massive 300-foot wide asteroid might hit Earth in...
A recent discovery by NASA showed that a near-Earth asteroid, designated 2024 YR4, can collide on Earth with more than 1% chance. On Dec. 27, 2024, the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Ale
7 vibrant images of Outer Space captured by NASA
The Horsehead Nebula is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The stunning image is captured by James Webb Space Telescope. The stunning image of NGC 9524 is captured by Hubble Space Telescope. This shining disk of a spiral galaxy sits approximately 25 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Sculptor.
NASA’s Historic Asteroid Sample Holds Clues to Life’s Origins
The discovery is a capstone achievement for NASA, which went to great lengths to secure and deliver asteroid samples from asteroid Bennu in 2020.
A NASA spacecraft scooped rubble from an asteroid. Here's what was inside
Scientists have finally had a close look at the rubble collected by a NASA spacecraft from an asteroid. In it, they've found new clues about the ingredients for life that were present in the early solar system and how they might have come to Earth.
