On Monday in the journal Nature, scientists working with the James Webb Space Telescope announced that pointing this machine toward Chamaeleon I has revealed a stunning menagerie of icy molecules hidden within the cloud. But these aren't just plain old molecules. They're the kind of interstellar bricks that'll one day fuse into the next generation of stars, planets -- and potentially even lead to the inception of life as we know it.
Sure enough, on top of structural icy bits such as frozen carbon dioxide, ammonia and water, the JWST also managed to detect evidence of what're known as "prebiotic molecules" in the cloud, according to a press release on the find. That simply refers to specific chemicals known to foster the right conditions for precursors of life.
"Our identification of complex organic molecules, like methanol and potentially ethanol, also suggests that the many star and planet systems developing in this particular cloud will inherit molecules in a fairly advanced chemical state," Will Rocha, an astronomer at Leiden Observatory who contributed to the discovery, said in a statement. "This could mean that the presence of prebiotic molecules in planetary systems is a common result of star formation, rather than a unique feature of our own Solar System."
My first experience with UFO's was an Orange Weather Balloon about 4' diameter that came to rest in our far west Corn Field. Later that afternoon Hot air Balloons flew overhead going northwesterly in the middle of summer. Millionaires having fun with their kids & chase cars to haul them back to their Burb Lifes. They had landing rights in pastures nearby. Maybe it all proves "you can't beat the desire to have fun."
You know, "Did the Doc in California just drive off a cliff to have family fun in a Tesla?" Ugh!
Slap to Face with that thoughts!... ..... But yes, they already knew how to get around with little exposure to anyone. Yep UFO's are Billionaires having fun with us.
