ScienceRibose and glucose reportedly found in an asteroid
Posts connect claims of asteroid sugars and DNA and RNA bases in meteorites to the possibility that life on Earth came from space.
TLDR
A post says NASA found ribose and glucose in an asteroid, calling it strong evidence for panspermia—the idea that life originated elsewhere and spread through space. It also suggests early life could have been RNA-based, with DNA evolving later. A separate post makes a related claim: scientists found all DNA and RNA bases in meteorites, which it links to the possibility that life on Earth came from space.
