Glycolaldehyde, a simple sugar molecule, was found in a giant cloud of gas and dust near the center of the Milky Way. When combined with other molecules more complex sugars, such as Ribose (Ribose is the building block for both RNA and DNA) and Glucose, are formed. Ergo my DNA comment.
MizRiz9:
Thanks for the link.
Excerpting from this link, however:
"We don't yet understand how it could be formed there.
A combination of more astronomical observations and
theoretical chemistry work will be required to resolve the
mystery of how this molecule is formed in space."
Ergo, my question.
