 A significant discovery in astrophysics has been made, with scientists detecting complex carbon-based molecules called pyrenes outside our solar system for the first time. This finding suggests that the building blocks of life on Earth may have originated from space, providing new insights into the origins of life. The detection was made in a star-forming region called the Taurus molecular cloud, located 430 light-years away.
