The Rosetta mission has changed our understanding of organic molecules in space, revealing complex compounds like glycine and dimethyl sulfide, crucial for understanding life's origins.
Nora Hänni highlighted the vast diversity of organic molecules found in Rosetta’s data, with scientists uncovering 44 types in just one day, some containing over 20 atoms.
Rosetta demonstrated that organic molecules, key for life, are abundant not just on Earth but also in comets and asteroids, reshaping our view of cosmic chemistry.
The Hayabusa2 and Osiris-Rex missions have supplemented our knowledge by returning significant samples from asteroids Bennu and Ryugu, both rich in organic materials.
