Findings from Ryugu illustrate how PAHs may be able to form in the cold regions of space, changing our perspective on the origins of planets — and even life.
In a recent study, scientists found that certain are organic compounds (PAHs) are “likely to be formed in the cold areas of space between stars, rather than in hot regions near stars as was previously thought”. How important is this new finding and what it means? Find out here.
