Extraterrestrial material found inside ancient crater rewrites history of life on Earth Alien material inside an ancient crater on Earth is reshaping scientific views on the origin of life and extraterrestrial possibilities. South Korean researchers discovered stromatolites with extraterrestrial traces in the Hapcheon impact crater, formed in a hot, mineral-rich lake after an asteroid impact. Geochemical testing showed the stromatolites formed over thousands of years, with age reversals caused by absorption of ancient carbon from the crater lake. The asteroid impact may have created oxygen oases, helping early microbial life survive and spread during Earth’s low-oxygen era. The findings suggest…
