Complex organic molecules detected in space
Scientists say they have detected two of the most complex molecules yet discovered in space. Their computer models also indicate still larger molecules may be out there, including the so-far elusive amino acids, essential for life as we know it.
The findings from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, Cornell University in New York, and the University of Cologne, Germany, were presented April 21 at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science at the University of Hertfordshire, U.K.
The researchers used the IRAM 30-meter telescope in Spain to detect light emissions from molecules in the star-forming region Sagittarius B2, near the center of our galaxy. The molecules were identified in a hot, dense gas cloud known as the Large Molecule Heimat, which contains a luminous young star.
