Life found on Ryugu asteroid sample

Ryugu asteroid samples indicate damage from microscopic meteoroid bombardment
Asteroids are remnants of the formation of our solar system, and while many can be found within the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, some cannot. One such object is asteroid (162173) Ryugu,
Life found on Ryugu asteroid sample, but it’s not as exciting as it sounds
A recent discovery made by scientists working with a sample of rock from outer space highlights one of the huge challenges that such work involves.
