Discovered in 1999 and alone 1 kilometer in diameter Ryugu is considered one of humanity’s greatest discoveries in space. So much so that thanks to the satellite Hayabusa 2, which was sent to Ryugu, the researchers found this meteorite. It could be one of the building blocks of the world had discovered.

In another statement released yesterday, it was announced that there is much more than expected in Ryugu.

The meteorite’s mineral structure has been altered by water in the past.

A team led by Hikaru Yabuta investigating micromolecular organic matter at Ryugu said in a statement yesterday that they found much more than they expected in this tiny “space rock.”

According to the statement made; In monsters of Ryugu It was discovered that the molecular structure of the meteorite changed once it came into contact with water.. Experts claimed that part of the meteorite had once been in intense contact with water, and also stated that they encountered some of the oldest organic micromolecules yet discovered in Ryugu.

According to the statement, the samples were taken from Ryugu even older than our sun It was claimed that organic molecules had been found and this was a turning point in the history of space. about the sun It is 4,500,000,000 years old Obviously, these molecules are quite impressive when we drop them.

Moreover that these micromolecules should not be associated with life or living beings. We have to specify. Although these discovered molecules are organic, they are abiotic. to inanimate objects associated molecules.

As astronomers and researchers continue to search for Ryugu after these discoveries, it is unknown what this (relatively) small space rock has to offer humanity.
