NASA scientists received a component of DNA proving the cosmic origin of life

<img alt = "Illustration / REUTERS "src =" https://images.unian.net/photos/2015_03 The first NASA scientist received deoxyribose, a component of DNA, simulating the conditions of the cosmic environment in a laboratory.

The results of the study indicate that the fact that the organic molecules necessary for the existence of life originally appeared in space, and then are fallen with comets on Earth

Experts have cooled a mixture of water and methanol to a temperature of minus 260 ° C inside the vacuum chamber, after which they exposed to the ice the effects of ultraviolet radiation simulating conditions in gas and interstellar dust clouds

The results of the chemical analysis showed that sugar, deoxyribose and other carbohydrates appeared in water and water. frozen alcohol, obtained from previous analogous experiments.

idoma, that sugar can form as a result of chemical reactions involving formaldehyde present in comets. However, scientists still could not get deoxyribose containing fewer oxygen atoms than compounds previously obtained by the researchers.

Previously, a NASA scientist admitted that aliens had already visited Earth. But no one has discovered them because their appearance might be too strange and unexpected for people.
