Every day we get more information on how the earth was made, and this gave a clue how it was. There has been a new theory about how the earth was made and it is from stars. It does sound weird and unbelievable but there is a good explanation why. Prof. Sun Kwok and Dr. Yong Zhang of The University of Hong Kong found out that there is a organic substance that is commonly found in the universe and it has a similar structure to coal and petroleum. Coal and petroleum are the remnants of ancient life so that gave us the idea the stars created earth. Scientist investigated infrared emissions detected in starts. This is more commonly known as unidentified infrared emission features. Scientist thought that it was made by only two atoms but it is much more complex like coal. By looking at start dust that was left when a nova happened they saw that the stars produce this organic substance on weekly bases. Stars are not only creating complex organic materials they are also ejecting it into the general interstellar space. One really interesting thing is that the complex structure is also found in meteorites.”Our work has shown that stars have no problem making complex organic compounds under near-vacuum conditions," says Kwok. There is still lots to research about and understand but one day the answer will come.
