‘Seeds of life’ discovered in deep space ice far beyond our galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected complex organic molecules, the building blocks of life, in ice around a young star outside our galaxy. This groundbreaking discovery suggests that the chemistry necessary for life may be universal, forming even in harsh cosmic environments. Scientists are now investigating other star-forming regions to understand the prevalence of these "seeds of life."
