Organic compounds in asteroids formed in colder regions of space
Analysis of organic compounds — calledpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) — extracted from the Ryugu asteroid and Murchison meteorite has foundthat certainPAHs likely formed in the cold areas of space between stars rather than in hot regions near stars as was previously thought. The findings open new possibilities for studying life beyond Earth and the chemistry … Read more
