Catch a falling star: cosmic dust may reveal how life began, and a Sydney lab is making it from scratch
AI Summary
Scientists are trying to understand how meteorites that hit Earth came to contain organic matter, potentially revealing clues about the origins of life. Cosmic dust, constantly bombarding Earth, and larger meteorites offer valuable insights into the cosmos. Researchers, including those in the UK, have been collecting micrometeorites from locations like cathedral roofs. Now, a lab in Sydney is attempting to recreate cosmic dust from scratch. This manufactured dust will help scientists study the formation of organic molecules in space and understand the processes that may have led to life on Earth.
