Ingredients for life appear in stellar nurseries long before stars are born

Complex organic molecules that could serve as building blocks for life are more ubiquitous than previously thought in cold clouds of gas and dust that give birth to stars and planets, according to astronomers at the University of Arizona Steward Observatory.

These molecules also appear much earlier than conventional wisdom suggested, hundreds of thousands of years before stars actually begin to form, the researchers found. Published in The Astrophysical Journal, the results challenge existing theories that require an environment heated by proto-stars—stars in the making—for complex organic molecules to become observable.

The study is the first to look for the signatures of two complex organic molecules, methanol and acetaldehyde, in a substantial number of prospective star-forming sites, unlike previous observations, which had mostly focused on individual objects. Pre-stellar or starless cores are so-named because while they do not yet contain any stars, they mark regions in space where cold dust and gases coalesce into the seeds that will give rise to stars and possibly planets

Give birth to...

Seeds of.....

Stellar Nurseries.

Interesting terminology.

Anything “could”.

Fun stuff though.

“We are stardust.....we are golden....and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden....”

These hippies were so in-tune with G-d’s plan.

The kabbalists explain that the (great wheeled) angels from Ezekiel’s vision (”Ophanim” in Hebrew, “wheels”) are the point of contact between spiritual flux (blessing, influence, what have you) and physical— literally, the cogs that turn the wheels of our universe.

Therefore— “We are stardust....we are golden...”

Get back to the garden is to reveal G-d’s presence again within His creation. LOVE THESE SPIRITUAL HIPPIES BABY!

See tagline. Today starts the world-wide movement of recognition of G-d’s commandments, which are the cosmic link between your Creator and you! Turn this ridiculous world over!

Certainly worth the read!

Big fan of sci-fi.

Ummm... No, they’re not complex.

Ah, science. Such definitive facts couched in such concrete terms.

Modern day astronomy: theories and fantasies mixed with philosophy, mascerading as real science.

Maybe it’s an astronomy thing, like heavy metal stars.

The fact remains that only one in one place have we discovered life. It must be much harder to create than we think.

Disagree,

Not to mention the multiverses ...

Our only problem is mobility,

But that will change as well.

We need to get off this rock it is already burning.

"Ah, science. Such definitive facts couched in such concrete terms."

That is how science works. It isn't based on definitive facts and concrete terms. Only people with no understanding of science think it does.

we are golden

"Golden", meaning all [כל] set, good to go... 50. 50, the place/time of arrival.

The 50th state is the Aloha state - a welcome: "Shalom!"

....and we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden....

Get back to the garden is to reveal G-d’s presence again within His creation.

Check out a map of the Garden Isle: 50, but not full circle because of the cliffs. Yet the view from the barking sands is to the 8th, the "Forbidden Isle", thanks to life's little "detours."

The arrival of the Messiah "at 50" plays off of the word fifty:

chamishim [חמישים] = Mashiach [משיח] + the masc. pl. ending [ים], which is 50.

Also the [golden] 50th gate is the [double] gate of mercy.

"The number 50 is used as the measure that places something at a distance. The Talmud notes the use of a rope measuring 50 cubits for matters such as measuring the 2,000-cubit distance of techum Shabbos, the distance beyond the city one may travel on Shabbos."

https://www.aish.com/h/o/t/Who-Knows-50.html

The place of 50 [ארצות הברית של אמריקה] = 2000

It has to do with the location of the ARK.

The Torah begins with a very large house, the enlarged bet. Bet [] = 2000.

America spelled out = 913 = "in the beginning"

Something in the wind has learned my name...

The Carpenters - Top Of The World - Carpenters Gold

"Keren" Carpenter, May 14th, 1970:

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
and starlight in your eyes of blue..

(Eyes.. they come in pairs.)

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light: And God saw the light, that it was good = 1776

And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness = 1776

(541 m)

nun + yud, the suffix denoting personal possession [of the letter nun].

The clock has already run out. There's plain book and video evidence identifying the rightful king who is able to rescue the Princess from the castle, because he is able to pull a bone out of a stone. You can't make this stuff up. Lost no more!

And how he freed her, he did not tell, but in the end he freed her.

Simple -- he threw her a bone, and swept her right off her feet!

This stuff is literal, not the least bit cryptic. That's what makes is sooo funny (and inescapable, like that pintele Yid). Meaning that as usual, God got there first and plastered His fingerprints all over the place... of de Nile. Heavy!

"Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?"

The reason is clear -- it is time for everyone to learn the true meaning of playtime. It's the law. :)

1955 just wasn't ready for Johnny B. Goode.

Today starts the world-wide movement of recognition of G-d’s commandments, which are the cosmic link between your Creator and you! Turn this ridiculous world over!

In levity is Levi. Won't you join me and embrace the stars? A man's name is his mission:

Habakkuk and a smile. Coke adds life.

My head! My head! It goes a long way in explaining why the place of Redemption is always out of reach. It's because nobody is willing to "go there".

Signed, Nobody

Acetaldehyde (systematic name ethanal) is an organic chemical compound with the formula CH3CHO, sometimes abbreviated by chemists as MeCHO (Me = methyl)........Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in coffee, bread, and ripe fruit,[10] and is produced by plants. It is also produced by the partial oxidation of ethanol by the liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and is a contributing cause of hangover after alcohol consumption.
