bern - A comet appears to contain two important building blocks of life on Earth. The boulder 67P / Tsjoerjoemov-Gerasimenko are glycine and phosphorus. That the University of Bern and the European Space Agency announced Friday.

The discovery is important because there is a theory which states that comets long ago water and life have brought to the early Earth. Glycine is a part of proteins. Phosphorus is one of the constituents of DNA.

Europe has sent a scout to 67P in 2004. After years of flies which came in 2014. A lander was put down on the surface. The comet is a relic from the days when the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago.
