Asteroid fragments upend theory of how life on Earth bloomed (nature.com)

This makes the Fermi paradox even weirder: If there is a bunch of these asteroids floating around in space, ready to seed life on numerous Earth-like planets, there should be an even bigger chance of seeing someone else, than if life have to originate on the planets themselves.

Cool. It's interesting to get new info on how it kicked off.
