Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, has been found to exist on #Bennu, a small #asteroid that swings by our #planet about every six years.
The discovery stems from an unprecedented sample collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission, which landed a #spacecraft on the asteroid in 2020, captured 121.6 grams of rocks and dust, and safely returned the cache to Earth in 2023.
Studying Bennu is important because its composition reflects that of the early solar system, giving scientists a glimpse into the beginnings of #life.
Finding tryptophan in the Bennu asteroid is a big deal, because #tryptophan is one of the more complex amino acids, and until now it had never been seen in any #meteorite or space sample.
The presence of tryptophan in an asteroid supports the idea that the recipe for life might not have begun only on Earth. Seeing it form naturally in space tells us that these ingredients were already being made out in the early Solar System. That would have made it easier for life to get started.
Looks like Ramalis got the drop on bsky.app/profile/luminary-song… and I with the camera! He could have warned us, at least! XD

Someday we might master pocket dimensions, higher levels of reality, a hidden doorway through the fabric of space and time...and when we do, travel to the stars may well look a bit like this.

It might look a bit...off, at first glance, but hey, there are plenty of bright-white nigh-contact binary stars out there, and Maltese crosses have been proposed as a real shape for these crafts...
