Sensational information received from the probe Philae, running on the surface of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Apparatus ESA collected data that indicate the presence of organic compounds in the cosmic body. In addition, the comet has all the conditions for the emergence of biological life, especially in the dark layer of the object, organic content which exceeds all possible indicators.
The probe Philae handed new sensational material from the surface the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Employee ESA reported having processed the last data they are inclined to believe that there is a cosmic body 67P organic life. Now it is known that all the conditions for it are present at the birth of a comet.
Scientists have found that on the surface of the object contains 16 key compounds in which proper degree saturated carbon-nitrogen. 4 of substances found in the open for the first time comets. Most of them are the main “building blocks” for the synthesis of sugars and nucleic aminakislot.
Soil samples were taken in the apparatus peculiar way. Since the landing did not take place successfully, “Phil” landed several jumps on his side, because to use a special drill failed. However, the fence device without it appeared clogged with dust from a comet, so that its chemical composition was analyzed anyway.
Analysis of the material showed that the top layer of the comet’s extremely rich in organic matter, including methyl isocyanate were identified, acetone , propaldegid, acetamide and glycolaldehyde. The first four elements are used to construct an amino acid, and it is – the basis for protein and nucleotide strands of DNA. Glycolaldehyde is the basis for the emergence of primitive sugars. This is just what you need for living organisms.
Based on the results of the research, scientists have suggested that the early solar system contains all necessary components for life, while the comet might be “organic vendors” for our planet .
Astronomers believe that emerged at the dawn of the Universe comets are carriers of biological life. Availability
them as complex organic matter proves the truth of the theory of panspermia (life drift to Earth celestial bodies).
An interesting look and approval of experts from the University of Cardiff. Its staff, headed by Max Wallis claim, that under the ice of the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko hidden germs and other simple organisms that have emerged from the Earth in different conditions. The proof is rich in organic crust of Comet 67P black. Only living beings could so enrich it with organic elements, scientists believe.
All this will remain at the level of assumptions and theories. Get a direct confirmation of the existence of life on the comet probe is not able to fillet. On board the machine simply does not have instruments to search for living beings.
It should be noted that the automatic station ESA Philae to land on the comet 67P November 12 last year. This was the first visit to the surface of the comet to human machine. After working a few days a probe “froze.” Boarded its solar batteries, as fillet landed in the shadow of the cliffs. Later, officers were able to contact the ESA probe and conducted a maneuver by changing locations. The result was sad – the device has calmed down almost half a year and recently a comet turned to the sun with the side where the “sleeping” Filet and he began to send new data.
Based on the results research, scientists have suggested that the early solar system contains all necessary components for life, while the comet might be “organic vendors” and to our planet.
Solve the Riddle of amazing form comets so far failed. Specifically designed for this device, which should help to understand what connects the part of the heavenly body is not working due to low battery. General Manager Stefan mission Ulamek told reporters: “Hope to revive the instrument is not extinguished. On this there is almost 3 months while the comet is not too far distant from the Sun ».
