"James Webb Telescope Discovers Organic Ingredients for Earth-like Worlds Around Infant Stars"

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected familiar chemical ingredients such as acetic acid, ethanol, and formic acid around two young stars, which could be crucial for potentially habitable worlds. These molecules were found surrounding protostars IRAS 2A and IRAS 23385 and may provide insight into the early history of our solar system. The discovery contributes to the understanding of complex organic molecules in space and their potential role in the formation of planets and the delivery of ingredients that could support life.
