20 September 2004: Cold Sugar in Space Provides Clue to the Molecular Origin of Life, NRAO

“Astronomers using the NSF’s giant Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope have discovered a frigid reservoir of simple sugar molecules in a cloud of gas and dust 26,000 light-years away, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The discovery suggests how the molecular building blocks necessary for the creation of life could first form in interstellar space.”
