The alam hills is a mars meteorite. We know, as as neil said, that it came from mars because we look at these littlelittle bubbles in it that keep gases in it. It has the exact same composition the gases on mars from our viking results. And so we know that this meteorite was a piece of mars that got blasted off, and travelled to earth and kind of landed on earth. So i take the view that we have now an astro-biologist who looks for life elsewhere but also tries to understand how we did become the way we are today. I never mind looking ignorant, because it's my specialty.
What will life be like on other planets? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice explore the origins of life on alien planets and extremophiles right here on Earth with astrobiologist Kennda Lynch.
