Astronomers have discovered near the young star “blocks of life”

Астрономы обнаружили возле молодой звезды "кирпичики жизни"Inside the new-born star found organic compounds.

Scientists using the ALMA telescope have discovered near Sun like newborn stars, traces of methyl-isocyanate — a chemical compound, which is the “building block” of life.

This prebiotic molecule first found in the vicinity of the solar-type protostars undergoing the same development path that once was the Solar system, according to the website of the European southern Observatory.

In the study, scientists watched the IRAS 16293-2422 system of very young star that is 400 light-years from Earth. Astronomers have discovered a unique line of chemical compounds in the warm and dense inner regions of gas-and-dust cocoons surrounding the stars that are in the earliest stages of evolution. Researchers have identified and isolated complex organic molecules the methyl isocyanate. The researchers then supplemented these observations with chemical computer modeling and laboratory experiments in order to achieve a clearer understanding of the origin of these molecules. The researchers found that clouds of methyl isocyanate surrounding each of the young stars of the system.

The earth and other planets of the Solar system was formed from matter left over after the formation of the Sun. Therefore, the study of solar-type protostars can open for astronomers “a window to the past”, allowing them to observe the processes similar to those 4.5 billion years ago led to the formation of the Solar system.
