- Sugars, ‘Gum,’ Stardust Found in NASA’s Asteroid Bennu Samples
A team of Japanese and US scientists have discovered the bio-essential sugars ribose and glucose in samples of asteroid Bennu that were collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission This finding builds on the earlier discovery of nucleobases (the genetic components of DNA and RNA), phosphate, and amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) in the Bennu samples, showing that the molecular
- NASA discovers space gum and sugars crucial to life in asteroid . . .
Bennu samples contain life-friendly sugars, a strange "space-gum," and ancient stardust, offering fresh clues to how life's ingredients formed in the early solar system
