The scientists used the National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in West Virginia to study a giant cloud of gas some 25,000 light-years from Earth, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. The chemicals they found in that cloud include a molecule thought to be a precursor to a key component of DNA and another that may have a role in the formation of the amino acid alanine.
BTW, before I lose you, this is the same observatory that may be closed soon.
So, a cloud older than what many would say the earth is (6,000 years and all that) showing similar patterns to our DNA.
Maybe that’s why they are shutting it down… because too many do not want to see Science progress.
