Hot on the heels of finding arsenic-loving life-forms, NASA astronomers have uncovered amino acids—the fundamental foundation for life—in a place where they shouldn't be. The acids—precursors of proteins—have been unexpectedly found inside fragments of previously superheated meteorites that landed in northern Sudan in 2008, a new study says. Amino acids have already been found in a variety of carbon-rich meteorites formed under relatively cool conditions. (source: news.nationalgeographic.com)
