NASA scientists are amazed by what they found in a sample collected from the carbon-rich asteroid Bennu that was 'loaded with organics'.

A spokesperson told FNN:

The asteroid sample bears an uncanny resemblance to Marmite (Vegemite in Australian).

This stuff is an astrobiologist's dream and we can't wait to spead it on our toast and see what it tastes like.

We have something from space that we have never seen in our laboratories, there is nothing more exciting!

A Bovril spokesperson commented:

We dispute that this is in fact Marmite as the consistency is more like our Bovril product, invented on the orders of Napoleon, and a favorite tipple of both the Pope and Jerry Hall.
