Rock may hold record of universe's birth
Rock may hold record of universe's birth A meteorite which fell to Earth on January 18th
may help scientists to understand the origins of the solar system.
Although the meteorite heated up during its journey through the
Earth's atmosphere, the core of the rock would have remained cold,
preserving delicate organic molecules trapped inside. The core of
the meteorite could hold materials dating to the origin of the
universe, about 4.5 billion years ago. Many scientists believe that
meteorites such as this one contain organic materials which became
the building blocks of life on Earth. 2 MAY 2000
