„Zahărul din zmeură” a fost descoperit în spațiu. Descoperirea care ar putea schimba teoria despre apariția vieții

Astronomers have discovered erythritol, a simple sugar, in interstellar space, suggesting essential ingredients for life may form between stars. This finding, published in Nature Astronomy, indicates that such compounds could be more widespread in the universe than previously thought. Erythritol was detected in a massive gas and dust cloud near the Milky Way's center, revealing that simple sugars might form in space and reach planets via asteroids and comets. This research could shed light on the origins of life's building blocks on Earth.
