Does Cellulose Really Exist In Space?
I’ve always wondered why the detection of cellulose in space hasn’t been studied more. If cellulose actually exists elsewhere in the universe, I’d think that would be pretty good supporting evidence of ET life out there…
This was reported in Nature, in 1978. Tholins have been detected as well (I think by Carl Sagan). There are many unidentified bands in the spectra of stars. Wide bands are produced by some complex molecules in the interstellar space.
