NASA study suggests that the basic components of life on Earth may have arisen from solar flares. The collision of particles of active particles from the sun with gases in Earth's primordial atmosphere could have produced amino acids and carboxylic acids.
Scientists are trying to explain how amino acids, the raw materials that make up proteins, and all forms of cellular life are formed. The new study used data from NASA's Kepler mission to investigate a new idea, the idea that active particles emitted by our sun, in the early super-flare stage.
