The Murchison meteorite fell on September 28, 1969, near Murchison, Victoria, Australia. It's a carbonaceous chondrite (CM2), a rare type of meteorite rich in water and organic compounds. Scientists have identified amino acids, sugars, nucleobases, and other complex organic molecules in it, some of which are older than the solar system, dating back around 7 billion years. Its discovery provided strong evidence that the building blocks of life could have come from space. | Robert James
