Meteors bring life to Earth

Scientists believe that life on Earth may have originated from another planet after our planet collided with a meteorite in the universe.

Celestial Body 65 C Recently, a research team from Central Florida University (USA) discovered an asteroid named 65 Cybele containing frozen water and organic matter on the surface. This finding reinforces the theory that life on Earth originated from another planet through meteorites.

Earlier in March 2010, another group of scientists discovered for the first time evidence of frozen water on a meteorite named 24 Themis.

The 65 Cybele meteorite is slightly larger than the 24 Themis meteorite. The 65 Cybele meteorite has a diameter of 290 km, while the asteroid Themis has a diameter of 200 km. Both 65 Cybele and 24 Themis meteors are between Mars and Jupiter.

' This finding shows that meteorites in our solar system contain more ice and organic matter than previously thought , ' said Professor Humberto Campins, an astronomer at Central Florida University. is the head of the study, said.

Dr. Humberto Campins also hypothesized that meteorites had collided with Earth and carried water and rocks containing organic matter - the basic elements for a life - to our onions.

Research by American scientists will be published in European magazines " Astronomy and Astrophysics ."
