Asteroids may not be the dark,dry,lifeless chunks of rocks scientist have long thought.Josh Emery , research assistant professor with the Earth and planetary sciences department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has found evidence of water ice and organic material on the asteroid twenty four Themis.This evidence support the idea that asteroids could be responsible for brining water and organic material to Earth.What is you opinion ?

Water is appearing in much places like moon and mars, is not strange that asteroids contain it too. There are theories that claims the possibility of the life origin in earth was for the organic matter that comes in an asteroid that crashes here. The opportunities of life are high in all the universe, only they could find the right place to rise... Regards.
