Need2Know Headlines

A larger than expected asteroid sample is revealing quite a lot about life on earth. The sample arrived on earth in late September after a NASA spacecraft dropped it in a Utah desert. A NASA administrator says the sample contains water and a large amount of carbon which suggests that asteroids may have been the building blocks to life on earth. He also said this asteroid sample is the largest carbon rich sample ever returned to earth. NASA claims the sample will help determine the origin of elements that could have led to life. That is incredible.
