Great intelligence on aliens.

Life like this one on earth may be much less and more precious than previously thought. The reason for this is the results of new scientific studies, which showed that one of the elements represented on our planet Phosphorus is extremely rare in the universe.

This element plays a key role in preserving energy in cells and transferring it, but also part of the DNA's chemical spine. Phosphorus occurs during a supernova explosion of a mass star at the end of her life, Kosovo Press broadcasts.

However, new data shows that typical supernova does not guarantee the conditions needed for phosphorus creation.

“Phosphorus transfer on the new planet often presents the uncertain process”, says astronomer Jane Greaves from the Cardiff University. “We believe that only a few minerals that are involved in phosphorus, which have fallen to Earth, perhaps by meteors, become enough reactive to participate in the creation of biomoleula”, Dr. Greaves.

Researchers came to these conclusions by analyzing the remains of two supernovias the Cassiopeia A (Cas a) and Mesjea 1 (Nebula crab). The scientific team across the telescope's route to the Canary Islands demanded traces of phosphorus and iron in Mesjeu 1 . .

Researchers in a previous study were looking for phosphorus tracks in Cassiopei A, a remnant of Supernova 11,000 light years away from Earth. Comparing the results of these two studies, scientists have found that in Mesjeu 1 it is much less phosphorus than Casiopeia A, which was a big surprise, the Kosova Pres broadcasts.

New discoveries were released in the European week of astronomy in Liverpool. Researchers will try to determine whether the remains in other supernoves also have no phosphorus.
