Dear Friends,

Well now - isn't this interesting.

"All eight amino acids are identical to those used by life on Earth. That could
seem to point to a cosmic origin of these basic biological building blocks, says
Macko. The case is bolstered by the fact that early Earth was bombarded with
meteorites and the amino acid glycine has been detected on interstellar
molecular clouds...
Making the case for cosmic origins of Earth's amino acids even more compelling
is the fact that all of the meteorite amino acids, except glycine, favor the
"left-handed" molecular structure, or chirality, that is also favored by life on
Earth."

Be Well, BE LOVE.
