Deep Space Meteorite entering the Asteroid Belt might be responsible for life on Earth

New research using magnetism has given significant data which will help scientists in understanding early origins of solar system. data will also help m in understanding why some planets such as Earth became habitable and were able to sustain conditions conducive for life, while ors, like Mars, did not. A report published on University of Rochester’s official website reveals that researchers were able to use magnetism to determine when carbonaceous chondrite asteroids first arrived in inner solar system. se asteroids are rich in water and amino acids.

But what role does magnetism play in this…

John Tarduno and William R. Kenan are two professors at University of Rochester. y mentioned in report that in science community re is special interest in defining history. It helps in understanding formation and condition of exoplanets. In fact, understanding meteorites and asteroids have also been important to understand how our solar system was formed and how earth sustained life. In order to learn more about origin of meteorites and ir parent bodies, Tarduno and his team of researchers studied magnetic data collected from Allende meteorite. This meteorite h fallen on Earth and h landed in Mexico in 1969.

A NASA report has revealed that Allende meteorite is largest carbonaceous chondrite meteorite found on Earth and contains minerals that are thought to be first solids formed in solar system. In fact, it is one of most studied meteorites. In scientific community, this meteorite was considered for deces to be classic example of a meteorite from a primitive asteroid parent body. Magnetism is a property of Allende's unusual magnetic minerals. Having solved this parox, one Tim O’Brien, a researcher on this project was able to identify meteorites with or minerals that could record early solar system magnetisations.

So what was parent body of Allende meteorite? 

report on University of Rochester’s website states that using simulations and data, researchers determined that parent asteroids from which carbonaceous chondrite meteorite broke off arrived in Asteroid Belt from outer solar system. This migration took place about 4,562 million years ago, within first five million years of solar system history. This early motion of carbonaceous chondrite asteroids probably set stage for furr scattering of water-rich bodies and potential development of Earth and solar system.
