Full Title:

Water and organic materials essential for life on Earth are found on the surface of an ASTEROID for the first time in discovery that 'could re-write the history of life on our planet'

The materials essential for life on Earth including organic matter and water have been discovered on the surface of an asteroid for the first time, a study shows.

Planetary scientists from Royal Holloway University of London examined a single grain of dust returned to Earth from asteroid Itokawa by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) as part of its first Hayabusa mission in 2010.

The water and organic matter originated on the asteroid itself, rather than arriving as part of a collision, suggesting it evolved chemically over billions of years.

It is the first time such material has been found on the surface of an asteroid, according to the British team behind the new study.

This is a major discovery that could 're-write the history of life on our planet,' scientists claim, as it is so similar to the evolution pathway on the early Earth.

or could the water just be condensation? from passing through a space gas cloud maybe? But if it took billions of years to develop just to this elementary stage, what does that say about the suggested 4.5 billion year evolutionary timeline of Earth?

“Science” is going to get ripped to shreds in the coming decades.

The real universe refuses to conform to their “facts”.

[Fungi]

So what? Water may be everywhere in the universe, but it is a incalculable jump to the first cell.

[plain talk]

This is an important find. Thanks for posting.

Would the organic materials survive reentry? Or rather entry?

And what Organic materials did they find?

[blueplum]

you’d have to read the article, but it’s ‘infall’ from ‘dust or carbon-rich meteorites’.

Then there’s an immediate question, if S-asteriods (stony asteriods) are more apt to have ‘infall’ (or ‘preserved’ infall) from meteorites, why?

Below is the Nature.com ‘scientific report’ that talks about D-poor water and D-rich water and all sorts of stuff I have no clue about.

Here’s what it says about the organic carbons:

“The organic matter is presented as both nanocrystalline graphite and disordered polyaromatic carbon with high D/H and 15N/14N ratios (δD = + 4868 ± 2288‰; δ15N = + 344 ± 20‰) signifying an explicit extra-terrestrial origin. The contrasting organic feature (graphitic and disordered) substantiates the rubble-pile asteroid model of Itokawa, and offers support for material mixing in the asteroid belt that occurred in scales from small dust infall to catastrophic impacts of large asteroidal parent bodies.”

You mean there’s evil “carbon” even on asteroids?

[Mr. K]

Was this caused by global warming?

[montag813]

So this asteroid is already a better place to settle than Mars

[Kudsman]

I know you. You are one of those carbon supremacists. Got a secret handshake? I’d like to join.

A little planet fart residue of water and hydrocarbons and voila, life will “evolve” with no agent cause, no formal cause, and no final cause.

WWJS?

[Pollard]

Well except for the hurdling through space and possibly crashing into a planet or the sun someday.

[RedwM]

If there is no gravity or an atmosphere like ours how does an asteroid keep its water. Are there oceans floating around in space. Do stars and suns evaporate water and turn it into nothing.

[moovova]

I ain’t living on no asteroid.

a single grain of dust

I'm thinking it was blown up from the floor of the lab and landed on the microscope slide.......

The idea is similar to that of a pile of aluminum, copper, iron, carbon and a myriad of elements or compounds , given enough time, magically turning into a Boeing 747.

The missing component is intelligence.

Even time is a created thing. Think about it, evolutionists.
