Located a few hundred light-years from Earth,Chmaeleon IThe nebula named ‘has made a great discovery today. Minerals essential to a habitable planet have been discovered in the coldest and darkest nebula ever discovered in the universe.

The frozen states of molecules such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, which are the most basic components that must exist in a habitable environment, were found. Among these molecules the most basic complex organic molecule methanol was also included.

So what does this discovery point to?

• Chamaeleon I through the eyes of James Webb.

The presence of molecules more complex than methanol in the nebula means the molecular clouds were found before stars were born presence of complex molecules in icy depths proven for the first time. Of course, this “evidence” is not the only meaning of this discovery.

Will Rocha of Leiden Observatory said the discovery of complex organic molecules will enable future stellar and planetary systems to form in the nebula in question with molecules in an advanced chemical state. He also added that the prebiotic molecules on the planets are the result of star formation.

In other words, only the rich and complex molecules that make a planet habitable Not exclusive to the solar system has been proven again.
