CURRENT EVENT | February 7, 2024
Scientists examining dirt and water samples from the surface of an asteroid have discovered organic material. Organic material comes from living things, like plants and animals, when they decay or eliminate it from their body. An asteroid is a rocky object that orbits the sun and is smaller than a planet. The discovery of organic material on an asteroid may mean that when an asteroid crashed into Earth long ago, it brought the organic material necessary for life on the planet. Listen to find out what scientists think about this exciting discovery.
