Slow-moving rocks better odds that life crashed to Earth from spacePrinceton NJ (SPX) Sep 25, 2012 Microorganisms that crashed to Earth embedded in the fragments of distant planets might have been the sprouts of life on this one, according to new research from Princeton University, the University of Arizona and the Centro de Astrobiologia (CAB) in Spain. The researchers report in the journal Astrobiology that under certain conditions there is a high probability that life came to Earth - or spread from Earth to other planets - during the solar system's infancy when Earth and its planetary neighb ... read more |
