The Miller-Urey experiment is an experiment conducted in 1953 which attempted to recreate conditions such as atmospheric composition and electrical activity of Earth at an early age. The main components of the 'atmosphere' in the experiment were ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), hydrogen (H2), and water (H2O). When electrical current similar to that thought to be present in earths early atmosphere was passed through the experimental 'atmosphere', organic compounds including amino acids were found to have been created.
