When someone claims you’re as dense as a rock…stand proud..you come from good genes.
More and more scientific evidence is showing that life on planet Earth was seeded by comets and meteorites. According to the scientific community that holds to this idea, these floating pieces of space debris contain the very building blocks of life.
NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has detected generous amounts of nitrogen containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in a galaxy 12 million light years from Earth. PAH’s are molecular carbons that are absolutely essential to all that we recognize as living.
The Spitzer Space Telescope has been one of NASA’s most successful ventures of late. Besides the latest find, this modern marvel of engineering space technology has exposed how distant galaxies appear (in infrared), revealed dusty galactic hideouts seen only as faint blurs in past observations; and teaming up with the famous Hubble Telescope has shown an awesome combined imagery of the Sombrero Galaxy (pictured above), also known as Messier 104.

Do you have any more story on this
LIFE ON ROCK? {sci-fi to sci-fact;…}
Over the past several weeks I have seen stories concerning comets and meteorites being hargingers of life on NASA, Space.com and CNN Science and Technology. There have also been some aired programs recently on NASA TV, the National Geographics Channel and the American Public Television Stations (PBS.org) about this particular subject.
DO you have any more pictures on this subject?

Not off-hand, but you can go to http://www.nasa.gov and type in a key word like Spitzer Space Telescope or PAH and you will find more pics available there.
