Another New Molecule Discovered Forming in Space
Another New Molecule Discovered Forming in Space The list of chemicals found in space is growing longer and longer. Astronomers have found amino acids and other building blocks of life on comets, asteroids, and even floating freely in space. Now, researchers have found another complex chemical to add to the list. The new chemical is known as 2-methoxyethanol (CH3OCH2CH2OH). It’s one of several methoxy molecules that scientists have found in space. But with 13 atoms, it’s one of the largest and most complex ones ever detected. A team of scientists called the McGuire Group specializes in detecting chemicals in space.
