Q: Are the amino acids found in #meteorites any different from those found on #Earth?
Over 85 amino acids have been ID'd in the Murchison meteorite (like glycine, alanine & serine) BUT some occur naturally only in carbonaceous chondrites. Isn't the universe grand?💫

Q: How are #meteorites advancing modern science?
Meteorites hold the answers to life, the universe and everything. In @SESEASU, we're using them to unlock secrets of the early #SolarSystem like how #planets form, and to plan new #missions like @MissionToPsyche!
