Complex carbon-based molecules, which theoretically could explain how life started, were detected in space for the first time. Called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), these sets of atoms consist of several hexagonal carbon rings linked with hydrogen atoms at the edges.
Astronomers have theorized, at least since the 1980s, that such molecules would be abundant in space, but until then no one had been able to observe them directly. Now, using the Green Bank telescope in the USA, a team of…
