moar alien articlesss

Hahaha, wow, I have another space article to shaaaare~

What this article is saying is that a sugar molecule, which can be linked to the origin of life, was discovered (with an IRAM radio telescope) in a potentially habitable area of the universe. It's been found before, but the area that time was inhabitable. This brings excitement to "extra-terrestrial life-seekers".

"The molecule, called glycolaldehyde, was spotted in a large star-forming area of space around 26,000 light-years from Earth in the less-chaotic outer regions of the Milky Way. This suggests the sugar could be common across the universe, which is good news for extraterrestrial-life seekers.

'This is an important discovery as it is the first time glycolaldehyde, a basic sugar, has been detected towards a star-forming region where planets that could potentially harbor life may exist,' Serena Viti of University College London said in a press release."

"Glycolaldehyde is a key ingredient for life. It helps to build Ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is thought to be the central molecule involved in the origin of life on Earth. Glycolaldehyde is a monosaccharide sugar, the basic unit of carbohydrates. It can react with the chemical propenal to form ribose, the building block of RNA."

Do you guys believe in alien life? I honestly have like, no opinion, although I do remember being sosososo scared of aliens and the like when I was younger. D;
