Scientists have detected heavy water in a protoplanetary disk around the star V883 Orionis, providing the first direct evidence that water in planet-forming regions may be older than the star itself, suggesting Earth's water could be even older than the Sun.
Astronomers using ALMA detected complex organic molecules, including precursors to life, in a young star's planet-forming disk, suggesting that the chemical seeds of life are formed in space and inherited by emerging planets, challenging previous theories of chemical 'reset' during star formation.
Astronomers discovered complex organic molecules, including precursors to DNA and RNA, swirling around a young star V883 Orionis, suggesting that life's building blocks may be more common in space than previously thought, as star formation processes might preserve these molecules rather than destroy them.
Scientists tentatively detected complex organic molecules, including ethylene glycol and glycolonitrile, in a planet-forming disk around V883 Orionis, suggesting that essential building blocks for life may be present during planet formation, potentially inheriting these compounds directly from their cosmic nursery.
Astronomers using ALMA discovered complex organic molecules, including tentative detections of ethylene glycol and glycolonitrile, in the disk of young star V883 Orionis, suggesting that the building blocks of life are inherited from earlier cosmic stages and are widespread in space.
Astronomers have discovered gaseous water in a planet-forming disc around the star V883 Orionis, located 1,300 light years away, tracing the origins of Earth's water to before the formation of the Sun. This finding is considered the "missing link" in understanding the evolution of life. The discovery, made using the ALMA telescope in Chile, could aid in identifying planets or moons with potential for extraterrestrial life and confirms that water in planetary systems formed billions of years ago in interstellar space, inherited by both comets and Earth relatively unchanged.
