Research by scientists from different countries confirms that the idea of the possibility of life outside the Earth has a basis. NASA scientists discovered DNA nucleotides in meteorite fragments, including adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil, which are key components for the origin of life, the Daily Star reports.
These findings serve as strong evidence in favor of the existence of life outside our planet.
The study of meteorite debris and space debris was carried out using modern methods developed at Hokkaido University in Japan. These methods allow for detailed analysis of chemical compounds obtained from space dust.
Daniel Glavin of NASA said that the study found all the major components of DNA and RNA in the meteorites. This discovery is an important step in understanding the possible origin of life on Earth through cosmic processes.
The researchers also refuted the version that organic materials could have entered the meteorites after they fell to Earth, because analysis of the soil around the fall site did not reveal similar isomers.
This suggests that nucleotides likely arrived on Earth from space, supporting the theory of panspermia, in which life can be transferred between planets through outer space.
Such findings significantly affect the understanding of the possibility of life in other parts of the universe and contribute to the development of scientific research on the origin of life on Earth.
