NASA’s asteroid contains ‘ingredient of life’ – finds new analysis of Bennu space rock

NASA’s groundbreaking asteroid mission has unveiled that Bennu harbors minerals containing ingredients conducive to the formation of life.

A recent comprehensive examination of samples dating back 45 million years revealed the presence of magnesium phosphate, a compound also found in Earth’s oceans, alongside phyllosilicates commonly observed in tectonic plates. Additionally, glycine, a crucial component in proteins, was detected.

Moreover, scientists confirmed the existence of water-bearing minerals on Bennu, corroborating earlier speculations suggesting that the asteroid originated from a primordial water world that potentially supported life, the Daily Mail reported.
