A NASA mission has revealed the fundamental components of life found in a sample from an ancient asteroid named Bennu, which landed in Utah’s desert in 2023. The OSIRIS-REx probe spent seven years traveling to the asteroid before collecting and returning samples containing dust and rocks. Researchers at prominent institutions have now identified key building blocks of life within these samples, marking a significant breakthrough in understanding the origins of life on Earth.
