A younger, still-forming star that produces so-called complicated carbon molecules like ethanol and acetaldehyde has been glimpsed by the James Webb House Telescope (JWST). The compounds it’s making could possibly be the constructing blocks of future planets.
Such protostars consist of huge volumes of gasoline, or gasoline and ice, that slowly coalesce into stars underneath the pull of gravity. Advanced carbon molecules, which may act as constructing blocks for all times, have been noticed in some protostar gasoline clouds, however a …
