Chemistry World November 3, 2014 Tim Wogan	Earth ripe for life soon after formation There has been water on Earth since shortly after it formed, say researchers from the US, who compared the deuterium to hydrogen ratios in water on Earth and from the Vesta asteroid belt.
Chemistry World July 13, 2012 Simon Hadlington	Where did Earth's water come from? One big question that remains unanswered about the evolution of the early Earth is how volatiles such as hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon arrived -- their presence being crucial to the origins of water and life.

Tiny grains of dust, no larger than the width of a human hair, are revealing the conditions in which the solar system, and perhaps life, got its start.
Chemistry World April 13, 2006 Jon Evans	Chemists Bring Alien Molecule Down to Earth Chemists have recreated an alien molecule in the laboratory by synthesising a stable version of the carbene cyclopropenylidene. Cyclopropenylidene was first detected by radio astronomers in 1985, and is now the most abundant cyclic hydrocarbon observed in interstellar space.
