Have the sweet particles of a substance like sugar come to earth from space?
Tokyo, June 27, 2020, Saturday
Scientists have discovered that sugar-like sweetness exists not only on Earth but also on other planets. Ribose and sugar particles have been found during testing of a substance brought from outside the Earth. Scientists therefore believe that natural sweeteners may have originally come from space. Professor Yoshihiro Furukawa of Tohoku University in Japan and his team were involved in this astonishing research. For this experiment, they studied three carbon-based comets, one of which was a Murchison comet, some fragments of which fell in Australia. During the testing of the samples, it was found to contain amino acids and some other basic particles.
The arrival of these particles on Earth may have initially helped in the formation of biological polymers. Analysis of its isotopes revealed that these sugar particles must have formed outside the Earth. From the composition of the minerals it is known that sugar was formed during or immediately after the asteroids.
Ribose RNA is one of the basic components found in ribonucleic acid, which is present in all living cells. Discovered from carbon-like comets but could not prove that they were actually outside the Earth but now it has been proven.
