It's this another point in favor of the panspermia hypothesis?
- mkl 4y agoNo, since this is not life or things definitely made by life. It's a point in favour of pseudo-panspermia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-panspermia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-panspermia). Amino acids have been found in comets before, though it sounds like they found more here.
- perardi 4y agoAnd what’s quite interesting about the pseudo-panspermia hypothesis… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#Homochirality https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#Homochirality …is the chirality of the molecules we’ve found on comets and meteorites. The amino acids and sugars out in space match what we find in Earth biology. That in way proves that some of the building blocks of life on Earth were generated in the Solar System, but at least it’s a plausible link.
