"Interstellar Space Molecules That Help Form Basic Life Structures Identified
"ScienceDaily (Sep. 20, 2008) — A team of scientists led by researchers from the Instituto AstrofÃÂ*sica de Canarias (IAC) has succeeded in identifying naphthalene, one of the most complex molecules yet discovered in the interstellar medium. The detection of this molecule suggests that a large number of the key components in prebiotic terrestrial chemistry could have been present in the interstellar matter from which the Solar System was formed."
