James Webb Telescope Detects Complex Organic Chemistry Beyond the Milky Way

Deep inside a dust-choked galaxy, astronomers have uncovered a chemical environment far more complex than expected. The James Webb Space Telescope detected abundant small organic molecules in a heavily obscured galaxy nucleus, far exceeding theoretical expectations. Evidence points to cosmic rays fragmenting carbon-rich materials and driving intense chemical activity. Such nuclei may act as cosmic [...]
