Natural sugar discovered in cloud of dust and gas near centre of Milky Way

Scientists have detected erythrulose, a natural sugar found in raspberries, within a massive cloud of dust and gas near the Milky Way centre. This first-time discovery of sugar in interstellar space proves that compounds essential for life can form in the frigid expanse between stars. This breakthrough is significant as it may help explain how life began on Earth, confirming that key organic molecules are present in the depths of the galaxy.
