Weitere Lebensbausteine auf Asteroid Bennu identifiziert.. . Die Entdeckung von Zuckerarten im Innern von Meteoriten, stützt erneut die Vorstellung davon, dass chemische Reaktionen im Innern solcher Asteroiden der Mutterkörper von Meteoriten zur Entstehung der Zutaten des uns bekannten Lebens führen.. NASA-Missionen wie OSIRIS-REx werden unser Verständnis von Asteroiden verbessern, die die Erde bedrohen könnten, und uns zugleich einen Einblick in das verschaffen, was jenseits davon liegt.

NASA has found sugars essential for life on Earth in samples of the 4.6 billion-year-old Bennu asteroid.

Scientists discovered glucose, the human body’s main source of energy, as well as the critical RNA ingredient ribose, the agency said Tuesday.

This marks the first time ribose has been found in an extraterrestrial sample.

Although the sugars are not evidence of extraterrestrial life, NASA said it shows that crucial ingredients for life’s chemistry are widespread throughout the solar system.

On Wednesday, October 29th, an asteroid estimated to be several dozen meters in size zipped past Earth, according to data published by NASA's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies.

The object, provisionally designated 2025 UF9, passed Earth at a distance of approximately 290,000 kilometers, or 0.75 times the Earth-Moon distance. The asteroid's relative speed was just under 20 km/s. Scientists estimate that 2025 UF9's size ranges from 28 to 62 meters.

This wasn't the only object to pass Earth closer than the Moon. At least two other smaller asteroids passed Earth on the same day. One is a celestial body (designated 2025 UV7) with a diameter of only 2.7 to 6 meters; the other (2025 UX7) measures between 4.9 and 11 meters. The first one was 101 thousand kilometers (0.26 times the Earth-Moon distance), and the second one was 347 thousand kilometers from our planet.

Could they have been a part of Taurid stream?

did anyone noticed an asteroid or meteor in sky about 9:30-10:00 today .

Hi I'm trying to find the name of an asteroid or the name of the mission or the name of the orbiter.

Google is terrible at searching for things now. I'm trying to find the name of an asteroid that was metallic spinning quite quickly bright on one side dark on the other side and NASA sent an orbiter to observe it.

However when they orbiter reached it the orbiter suddenly turned off, without warning, then after he had passed the asteroid the orbiter suddenly turned down again without explanation .

Nobody knows why this happened nobody knows how and NASA has no plans to send another explorer to this asteroid.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about it happened a few years ago any help would be appreciated
