Researchers detect interstellar organic materials being fed into a young planetary system
...number of organic molecules including methyl formate (HCOOCH3) and carbonyl sulfide (OCS) around IRAS 16293-2422A. The ring structure round 16293-2422A is comparable to the size of the Solar System (~50 AU), and it most likely represents the boundary...

New molecule discovery may have implications for chemistry on Earth
... target of the Rosetta mission and around an infant star about 400 light-years away in a system known as IRAS 16293-2422. While the new ALMA observation is the first detection ever of a stable organohalogen in interstellar space, it simultaneously...
