Scientists found a molecule of life in the middle of the universe

This revolutionary discovery can help us find the origin of life in the universe.

For the first time in history, scientists have discovered a complex organic molecule that is symmetrical in the heart of the Milky Way galaxy. This finding could help us explain the formation of life on Earth, as well as open up opportunities to find planets in life in the universe.

This is the first molecule discovered in the universe that has symmetrical properties.

This propylene oxide molecule was discovered in a giant gas cloud, which scientists call Sagittarius B2 . This cloud of gas is 3 million times more massive than the Sun and lies 390 light years from the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Chemist Brett McGuire at the National Astronomical Observatory in Virginia, said: "This is the first molecule discovered in the universe that has symmetrical properties . This discovery is very important, because it will help us understand more about the formation of life in the universe. "

Symmetric molecules are an important factor that helps shape life on Earth. These are molecules that have an internal structure divided into two identical parts. These molecules are the basic components for making amino acids, proteins, enzymes.

Model of propylene oxide molecule symmetrically has just been discovered.

"Propylene oxide is the most complex structural molecule we've ever discovered in the universe. By monitoring, we can know it, " said California Institute of Technology researcher Brandon Carroll . and where and where these molecules appear ".

He added : "Meteorites in the solar system already contain symmetrical molecules before Earth. And life on Earth is thought to have originated from meteorite collisions. Very small molecules. that may be the origin of life today. "
