Massive Stars Are Factories for Ingredients to Life
nasa.gov- Massive amounts of water and organic molecules, never before seen, discovered in swirling, disk-shaped clouds surrounding young stars.
- Young stars are produce life-inducing molecules, and It probably also happened during the formation of the sun and the inner planets of our solar system.
- It was discovered through infrared observations of NASA’s airplane telescope, which demonstrates the power of infrared observatories to find simple organic compounds.
- Celestial clouds collapse into a rotating disc of gas and dust to form stars, the chemical soup of organic molecules was found in the inner regions of these discs.
- Further studies of massive young stars will help scientists understand the processes creating organic molecules.
