Rara condrita carbonácea de Nueva Jersey revela aminoácidos extraterrestres

Ciencia

Científicos del Instituto SETI, los centros de la NASA en Ames y Johnson, la American Meteor Society y el American Museum of Natural History analizaron un condrita carbonácea que atravesó el techo de una vivienda en Hillsborough, Nueva Jersey. Space informó que el meteorito mostraba evidencias de alteración por agua, lo que sugiere su origen en una región salina y cercana a la superficie de un asteroide del cinturón interior. CNN señaló que el fragmento tipo CM, de aproximadamente un kilogramo, se recuperó con mínima contaminación, permitiendo detectar aminoácidos extraterrestres y brina.

CBS News destacó la presencia de residuos de brina salada y moléculas orgánicas, sugiriendo que estos asteroides podrían haber aportado compuestos precursores de la vida a la Tierra primitiva. 6abc Philadelphia reportó que los análisis de laboratorio revelaron una variedad de aminoácidos no presentes en la Tierra. ABC News confirmó que el meteorito se clasifica como una rara condrita CM1/2 con compuestos prebióticos, y Fox News indicó que estos hallazgos aportan nueva información sobre la química orgánica del sistema solar temprano.
