The most beloved carbonaceous class of astrobiologists was rocks, which were rich in organic compounds. Their main study is how life came into being in the solar system and in the universe. Filled with more than a thousand compounds of life-forming carbon, water and amino acids necessary for life, these rocks excited them.

Of the seventy amino acids discovered, only 19 are known to Earth. That is, others are outside the Solar System or, in the Spielberg language, Et or extraterrestrial. Its silicon-to-elemental elements tell us that it was caused by an old supernova explosion, and thus how our solar system formed, and that these rocks are much older than the solar system.
