Is life widespread throughout the cosmos? Complex organic molecules found in planet-birthing disk

Astronomers have detected signs of complex organic molecules, the precursors to the building blocks of life as we know it, in a planet-forming disk around a distant star. The findings imply that the chemical seeds of life are constructed in space and are then spread to young or newly forming planets. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA), a …
