Astronomers report in the journal Nature that organic compounds of unexpected complexity exist throughout the Universe. The results suggest that complex organic compounds are not the sole domain of life but can be made naturally by stars.

Turns out Noah's Ark was an ufo
And? I hope they did not spend too much money figuring that out. It’s been known for decades, and anyone with a brain could have figured it out without even checking.
When I was on the order of 7 years old or so, I learned that jupiter, saturn and venus all have hydrocarbon atmospheres.
Complex “organic” molecules.
This is bad (junk) science. Somebody is trolling for $$$$.
prove it is not true....that is the scientific method. proving it is true is religion.
You obviously didn’t read the article.

LOL,
No not Lemmiwinks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What about Uranus?
Yeah, it’s full of methane gas, too. (please avoid all jokes)
Methane, hydrocarbons, what's the difference?
They’re making a big deal about finding PAH’s (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).
Well, unless you use a high-efficiency incinerator, you get PAH’s to some extent pretty much anytime you burn anything. So it’s not like you need a complex living organism (or even a penny-ante living organism) to get PAH’s - you just need a source of carbon, a source of hydrogen, and high temperatures.
Shouldn’t be too tough to find those in regions in space where stars are forming.
Why do you say that? What I said is emphatically true. In fact, here is another article linked on the same page as this article from two years ago that says pretty much the same thing:

Velikovsky also thought that electromagnetic forces might somehow play a greater role to counteract gravity and orbital mechanics. One idea is a scenario where stars are powered not by internal nuclear fusion, but by galactic-scale electrical discharge currents. If he is right, unforeseen galactic discharges could trigger a sequence resulting in oil raining down on Earth. (Hopefully not in the middle east next time!)
