Scientists discover the largest sulfur molecule ever found in space
Astronomers have discovered the largest sulfur-containing molecule ever seen in space, offering new clues about how the chemical ingredients of life may form long before planets and stars are born. The molecule, known as 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-thione (C₆H₆S), was identified by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in collaboration with scientists from Spain’s Centro […] The post Scientists discover the largest sulf…
Astrophysicists discover largest sulfur-containing molecular compound in space
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), in collaboration with astrophysicists from the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), CSIC-INTA, have identified the largest sulfur-bearing molecule ever found in space: 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-thione (C₆H₆S). They made this breakthrough by combining laboratory experiments with astronomical observations. The molecule resides in the molecular cloud G+0.693–0.027, about 27,000 light-…
