🍓 Sugar found in space! Scientists discovered erythrulose in a dust cloud near the center of the Milky Way. This is the first sugar in interstellar space — it could have reached Earth with comets and helped life emerge 🌌🔬 #space #science #life

Astronomers have discovered sugar molecules (erythrulose) in the interstellar clouds of the Milky Way. This discovery confirms that complex compounds for the origin of life can arise in space independently, rather than being delivered solely by meteorites. 🌌🍬🔭
