  6. 🪐 Raspberry sugar found floating in deep space, 26,745 light-years from Earth

    Scientists just detected erythrulose (a sugar in raspberries and kiwis) in a giant molecular cloud near our galaxy's center - the first sugar ever found in interstellar space. It may have rained down on early Earth via meteorites and helped seed life.

    Published today in Nature Astronomy.

  11. Soil that has been irradiated to kill all microbial life continues to emit CO2 and generate free electrons, suggesting that metabolic processes are occurring geochemically, outside of cells. These abiotic metabolic reactions might have had a role in the origin of life.

  13. Dying Stars Replicated, Shedding Light on Life's Origins

    Scientists in a lab recreated dying stars, showing how hydrogen helps create cosmic dust with the building blocks for life. This could explain how life started on Earth.

  14. Researchers have successfully made cosmic dust in a lab, similar to what dying stars produce. This dust contains the basic ingredients for life, showing they might have come from space.

  16. Investigating the Geographical Origins of First Life on Earth

    Where did life on Earth start first? Scientists look at deep oceans and volcanoes to find out if we will find life on Mars or other moons.

  17. Scientists are choosing between the deep ocean and land volcanoes for the start of life. This choice tells us if we should look for aliens on Mars or icy moons.
