Scientists have found complex organic molecules in a planet-forming disk of gas, dust and ice swirling around a very young star, evidence that the building blocks for life may be common in the universe. We already knew that these disks are rich in water and simple organics. This is the first time we detect more complex organics, astronomer Karin Oberg, with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Discovery News. ANALYSIS: Could This Alien Cell Thrive on Titan? Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observatory located in Chile, Oberg and colleagues found large amounts of methyl cyanide -- a complex, carbon-based molecule -- as well as simpler hydrogen cyanide molecules in the proto-planetary disk surrounding MWC 480, a very young star roughly twice the size of the sun located about 455 light-years away. The molecules were found about 3 billion miles to 9 billion miles from the central star, which is distant by our solar system standards, but squarely in what would be a Kuiper Belt-like, comet-forming region for the larger MWC 480. The scientists also noted that the ratios of these organics are similar to what is found in comets in the solar system. ANALYSIS: Old Galaxy Holds Early … Continue reading
