FOR the first time, scientists have discovered the key ingredients for life on Earth present on an asteroid. Water and organic matter were found during an analysis of a fragment collected from the cosmic rock Itokawa by a Japanese spacecraft. The finding adds weight to the theory that life may spread from one planet to another by piggybacking on asteroids and other space debris. If true, this could explain how life arose here on Earth and would heavily imply that alien lifeforms are present across the known universe. On top of that, the discovery sheds fresh light on the constantly evolving processes of the universe, scientists said. "These findings are really exciting as they reveal complex details of an asteroid’s history and how its evolution pathway is so similar to that of the prebiotic Earth," said team member Dr Queenie Chan of Royal Holloway University in London. Itokawa is a 500-metre wide space rock that orbits within the inner Solar System. It's thought … [Read more...] about Water and building blocks for life found on ASTEROID for first time giving hope for ET discovery

The Pope has arrived in Iraq for an historic weekend visit which carries both symbolism and risk. With a message of inter-faith tolerance, Francis will spend four days in Iraq in what is his first foreign trip in more than a year and the first-ever papal pilgrimage to the war-hit nation. Francis, who wore a facemask during the flight, took it off before descending the stairs to the tarmac and was greeted by two masked children in traditional dress.

They can be seen grabbing her legs and pulling her back to safety, as she emotionally collapses in their arms, before they hand her over to the police.
