The examination of meteorites realizes too much numbers of left-handed amino acids. There is more evidence than ever that life on Earth may have originated as a result of material from asteroids or comets. Previous research had already shown as amino acids, the structure blocks for constructing natural life could form anywhere in the universe.

These molecules can form in two different versions, but life on Earth is based on only one of them. Now research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters shows how conditions that 

Does the meteorite that brought the instructions for life on Earth?


Some think that meteorites brought indispensable materials for the beginning of life. A meteorite discovered in Antarctica would give strength to the argument that life on Earth may have started due to a boost from space, scientists say. The analysis shows that the meteorite is rich in the gas ammonia. Contain the element nitrogen, found in proteins and DNA that form the basis of the life as we know.
