The Murchison Meteorite is a carbonaceous chondrite that fell in Australia in 1969. It is notable for being one of the most studied meteorites due to its rich organic content, including amino acids, which are the building blocks of life. The meteorite weighs about 100 kilograms and is believed to have originated from the early solar system. This meteorite provides valuable insights into the formation of planets and the potential for life beyond Earth. Its unique composition has led scientists to explore the origins of organic molecules and their role in the development of life, making it a significant object of study in astrobiology.
