NASA 's OSIRIS -REx mission returned samples from asteroid Bennu , revealing the presence of organic compounds essential for life.

Researchers found sodium carbonate, which on Earth appears at the bottom of lakes that dried up and were rich in sodium.

These findings suggest that water was once present on Bennu providing a potential environment for prebiotic chemistry.
