The galaxy is much more complex. CM2 Meteorites carry millions of types of organic compounds. Identification of 92 amino Acids (1,3,5) only 18 amino acids carry Similar structures in biological Proteins (1,3,5).

Difficult to believe The abundance of organic compounds could be the cause of… - terrestrial contamination - a chemical evolution - possible extraterrestrial material that contains “living” properties (1,3,5). Most believed to be the cause of an exposure or contamination (1,3,4,5).

Early Earth was crucial to the creation of life (6). - CM2 could not have been a returning meteorite from Earth’s Past (1,3). - more to study of CM2 unknown organic components: non-protein amino acids (1,3,4,5). - assumed to be an extraterrestrial material (1,3).

Small sample of CM2 (crushed-powdered) Acid hydrolysis (1,2,3,4,5,6) Ion exchange column (1,3,5) Perkin – Elmer 900 (top): Gas Chromatography with pyrolysis (1,2,3,4,5,6) *pyrolysis: 430°C -1000°C (2,4) Perkin-Elmer 850 (bottom): Mass spectrometer (5,6)

Amino acids found: Alanine, Glycine, Valine, Proline, Leucine, Isoleucine, Aspartic acid and Glutamic acid (1,2,3,4,5). Results supported past research studies. - Chiral: Small excess of left hand amino acids (1,3,5). No RNA or DNA found yet (1,2,4). Identification of several complex compounds: carboxylic acids, hydroxyl carboxylic acids, aromatics (1,5,6)…

Table 1: Cronin and Pizzarello identifies amino acids (1,2,3,5).

A journey in understanding the complexity of space (1,3). The relationship between us. Possible life existing somewhere in outer space (6).
