to achieve the darkest view yet of a dense interstellar cloud. This resulted in the revelation of the composition of a virtual treasure chest of ices from the early universe, providing new insights into the chemical processes in one of the coldest and darkest places in the universe and the origins of the molecules that make up planetary atmospheres.
“These observations provide new insights into the chemical processes in one of the coldest, darkest places in the universe to better understand the molecular origins of protoplanetary disks, planetary atmospheres, and other Solar System objects,” Qasim said. “The ices we observed only contain 1% of the sulfur we’re expecting. 99% of that sulfur is locked up somewhere else, and we need to figure out where in order to understand how sulfur will eventually be incorporated into the planets that may host life,” Qasim explained.
