00:00:02
the year?
00:00:03
>> Okay, we haven't talked about it on the
00:00:04
show. This definitely deserves a science
00:00:06
corner, but asteroid Bennu, NASA sent a

in 2020. They landed back on Earth 2023.
00:00:13
2 days ago, they showed that on asteroid
00:00:15
Bennu, there is nucleic acids, there are
00:00:18
amino acids, there are sugars. All of
00:00:20
the building blocks of life were found
00:00:22
on this asteroid floating through space.
00:00:24
Wow. This is going to end up being one
00:00:26
of the most like amazing discoveries of
