A meteor fell to Earth April 22, 2012, near Sutter's Mill, California, thus becoming a meteorite. Scientists studying fragments of the meteorite have found traces of organic compounds.
In itself, that's not terribly unusual; organics have been associated with space rocks many times. This time, however, the particular compounds found could hold other organics together. That would be a big step forward in the creation of life.
