  1. Scientists spot #sugar in interstellar #space for the first time ever
    #Erythrulose, a sugar found in raspberries, kiwis, fruits, also apparently exists in a giant molecular cloud of gas and dust near the center of our galaxy. First time sugar has been seen in #interstellarspace
    Question is: How did sugar get there? For life as we know it, sugars are vital, both as energy-storage molecules and as ingredients in bio building blocks such as DNA & RNA

  2. Hopefully Voyager 1 can survive until later. In this 2025, Voyager 1 has been at a distance of 25.0 billion kilometers from Earth and will continue to fly away until later even when contact with Earth is lost in about 2036. It is the most distant human-made object from Earth.

  7. Good morning awesome people!!!! :) I hope your all having a good and wonderful day/night. I didn’t have the best sleep last night, oh well. I’m still ready for what the day may bring. Please know that your loved, and your so very much worth it. Always be kind to yourself and those around you.

    Today we are going to talk about voyager one.

    Did you know that Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object in space? It was launched in 1977 and has been exploring the outer solar system and beyond for over 46 years, as of today, September 5. It carries a golden record with sounds and images of Earth, a message of peace and curiosity to any alien civilization that might encounter it. Voyager 1 is now in interstellar space, where it continues to send back data about the cosmic environment. It is truly an amazing feat of engineering and science, a testament to our human spirit of exploration and discovery. #InterstellarSpace #GoldenRecord

  8. #Voyager found that 75% of the #CosmicRays heading our way from #InterstellarSpace 🌌 get filtered out in the #heliosphere’s outer reaches. If the encounter with the next cloud squeezes the heliosphere all the way down to #Earth’s #orbit, life forms would be exposed to an intense #radiation environment that would riddle #DNA 🧬 with mutations. There’s evidence of such an event around the time early #hominids were just beginning to pick up stone tools science.org/content/article/vo

  9. #Earth’s #water originated in #interstellar #space more than five billion years ago, making it more ancient than the Sun. The finding will inform efforts to find other water-hosting habitable #planets as our originated on dust grains in #interstellarspace vice.com/en/article/n7ej9w/ear
