The scientists behind Rosetta report that the probe has found complex, solid organic matter in the dust particles of the comet, the kind we’ve never expected to find. Previous missions could not collect these solid organic molecules, since these missions were merely flybys. Ultimately, they crafts moved too fast, disrupting the particles too much for a proper characterization.


“Our analysis reveals carbon in a far more complex form than expected,” remarked Hervé Cottin, one of the authors of the paper, in a statement. “It is so complex, we can’t give it a proper formula or a name!”

Findings to be published in journal of Nature.

These aren't just every day hydrocarbon compounds, but very complex carbon based molecules you'd expect to call proteins if they had a function in a broader self replicating organic system.

MAJOR! YUGE!

Really unbelievable..............

bottom line: We sell you garbage, eat it and enjoy.

Are there any complex molecules that don't contain Carbon?

Because of the nature of its bonds, carbon is almost the ideal atom to act as a backbone for complex molecules. This is why all life of which we are aware on Earth is carbon-based, and why the study of the molecules formed using carbon is known as "organic chemistry". Metabolism requires very complex chemicals and chemical reactions, which in practice means complex carbon molecules. This discovery is important because it demonstrates that complex - even surprisingly complex - carbon molecules seem to be commonplace throughout the Cosmos.
