Asteroid Bennu contains life's building blocks, suggesting space rocks may have seeded life on Earth.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission has discovered that asteroid Bennu contains key building blocks of life, including amino acids and DNA components. The samples suggest that asteroids could have delivered these materials to Earth, potentially contributing to the formation of life. While the samples do not prove the existence of life on Bennu, they indicate that conditions favorable for life were present in the early solar system, raising the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
