After the rain on the moon, NASA detects the strange molecule in Titan

What makes this discovery more interesting is that this rare molecule ) Cyclopropelliden (C3H2) ) has never been found in an atmosphere, in the solar system, or elsewhere.

According to astronomers, the only place where C3H2 can remain stable is the cold vacuum of interstellar space.

Melissa Coacher, an astrobiologist at NASA Goddard, said Titan may be a site similar to the chemical composition of ancient Earth when life had just begun.

“We need to know what is happening in the atmosphere to understand chemical reactions that lead complex organic molecules to form and rain on the surface”, she said.

C3H2 is a very strange little <x0-molecle” that doesn't last long outside a controlled environment because it reacts very quickly to other molecules and forms other compounds, but when it comes to Titan, it's very different from the interstellar space he has new hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon lakes and a predominantly nitrogen atmosphere, with a little bit of methane.

So far, Cyclopropylindine has been discovered only in the molecular clouds of gas and dust, such as the Medieval Reja Taurus in the Demi Contelation, more than 400 light years away.

The New Discovery of NASA comes only a short time after the space agency officially confirmed the presence of drinking water on the moon's surface.
