Of the twenty amino acids used in proteins, ten were formed in Miller's atmospheric discharge experiments. The two other major proposed sources of prebiotic amino acid synthesis include formation in hydrothermal vents and delivery to Earth via meteorites. We combine observational and experimental data of amino acid frequencies formed by these diverse mechanisms and show that, regardless of the source, these ten early amino acids can be ranked in order of decreasing abundance in prebiotic contexts. This order can be predicted by thermodynamics. The relative abundances of the early amino acids were most likely reflected in the composition of the first proteins at the time the genetic code originated. The remaining amino acids were incorporated into proteins after pathways for their biochemical synthesis evolved. This is consistent with theories of the evolution of the genetic code by stepwise addition of new amino acids. These are hints that key aspects of early biochemistry may be universal.

Stuart Clark tells for the first time the full story behind Carrington's observations of a mysterious explosion on the surface of the Sun and how his brilliant insight-that the Sun's magnetism directly influences the Earth-helped to usher in the modern era of astronomy.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are the most powerful explosions known in the Universe; most originate in distant galaxies. A large percentage of bursts likely arise from the explosion of stars over 15 times more massive than our Sun. Experts believe that...

Uniview is the most feature-rich astronomical visualization and universal data exploration platform on the market, yet simple enough to get you started with doing live presentations in museums, science centers, large scale theaters and fulldome planetariums in no time.

Emerald Observatory is an iPad™ application which displays a variety of astronomical information. It is similar in that way to our flagship products, Emerald Chronometer® and Emerald Chronometer HD, but designed from the start to take advantage of the iPad's larger display. Much of the supporting technology, including NTP (atomic time) and the highly accurate astronomical algori ..

This is still one of the most magnificent videos we've ever seen. #milkyway #auroras http://t.co/FPGMtiYuOZ http://t.co/36DaE9oJXf

Here is a realistic, professional space simulator for astronomy enthusiasts. Explore the Universe in a 3-dimensional view on the monitor of your computer. Fly from the surface of the Earth to any destination in the outer space. Simulate an outer-space journey in any direction, at any speed, and in any time in the present, past, or the future!

Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted that the space-time around Earth would be not only warped but also twisted by the planet's rotation. Gravity Probe B showed this to be correct.Credit: NASA In 1905, Albert Einstein determined that the laws of physics are the same for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the motion of all observers.
