Water Drop Discovered on Ryugu Asteroid Offers Clues to Origins of Life on Earth
A water drop discovered on specks of dust from Ryugu, an asteroid close to Earth, has offered new support for the theory that life on the planet was seeded from outer space. The sample of the asteroid retrieved by the Hayabusa-2 probe has already showed that some of the building blocks of life on Earth, amino acids, may have been formed in space. T...

Ryugu Samples Are Most Contaminant-Free Outer Solar System Particles, Says Study
In an in-depth analysis conducted by a team of Japanese researchers at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), it is found that the Ryugu samples brought on Earth in December 2020 by the Japanese aircraft Hayabusa-2 are the most “uncontaminated” samples. This will help scientists get a crystal-clear insight into the chem...
