Summary in Seconds: Scientists analyzing pristine samples from the asteroid Ryugu have discovered all five nucleobases that form the genetic code of life, confirming that the essential building blocks of DNA and RNA exist naturally in space. Collected by Hayabusa2 and studied without contamination, these findings—along with similar results from Bennu—suggest that such molecules are widespread across the solar system. The research strengthens the idea that early Earth may have been seeded with the raw ingredients for life by asteroid impacts, pointing to a cosmic origin for the chemistry that made life possible. In the vast silence of space, long
