Studies of asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft have revealed molecules that, on our planet, are key to life.

Scientists said they didn’t find evidence of life on Bennu, but they did find evidence of the building blocks of life.

“NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission already is rewriting the textbook ... Those chemicals are key to building both DNA and RNA, the compounds that give rise to all living things on Earth. The sample also ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission found ingredients for DNA and RNA on the asteroid Bennu. The discovery shows asteroids could seed planets with the precursors for life. It's also more evidence that life ...
