Game Changer Discovery released on Mar 13, 2024: Webb Telescope Reveals Recipe for Life May Be Commonplace in the Universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered complex organic molecules (COMs) around young stars that haven't even formed planets yet. These COMs, often linked to life on Earth, were found frozen in ice.
This discovery suggests life's building blocks might be much more common in the universe and could be delivered to young planets by comets and asteroids. Webb's future observations will help us understand how COMs form and move throughout stellar systems, potentially revealing prime locations for life beyond Earth. #JWST #SpaceNews #Astrobiology
