Organic Molecules Around Forming Planets | Karin Öberg

Показать описание
Organic molecules are essential for life. The Earth and the Solar Systems appears to have plenty but do planets around other stars have them as well? Planets still in the process of forming are usually accompanied by disks of left-over material and using the ALMA telescope we have started to probe the chemistry of these alien systems! Karin Öberg, a professor of astrochemisty, explains what we've learnt about extrasolar organic molecules so far. This is one of the videos shot at the American Astronomical Meeting in Texas, so apologies for the background sounds as people wander around nearby!

Organic molecules in space! Does this make you think that life must be common or do you think there's still a huge barrier to go from organics to life?

Okay so after today's announcement kinda wondering. Any of those fancy organic molecules found in the Trappist-1 system?

To be true for all that I've on this on exoplanets and protoplanetary dust disc science, I think it's very unlikely one star without a planetary system
