More than 20 amino acids already found in soil samples from asteroid Ryugu

Experts of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency have isolated isoleucine and valine in the sand from the asteroid.

This may confirm the theory of the cosmic origin of the materials that form the basis of life on Earth.

It is believed that amino acids were originally abundant on Earth when it appeared more than 4.5 billion years ago. However, they then failed to survive the period when the Earth was covered by magma.
