Interstellar medium


Interstellar acetic acid was discovered in 1996 by a team led by David Mehringer[78] using the former Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory and the former Millimeter Array located at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. 

It was first detected in the Sagittarius B2 North molecular cloud (also known as the Sgr B2 Large Molecule Heimat source)

The cloud is composed of various kinds of complex molecules, of particular interest: alcohol. 

The cloud contains ethanol, vinyl alcohol, and methanol. This is due to the conglomeration of atoms resulting in new molecules. The composition was discovered via spectrograph in an attempt to discover amino acids. 

An ester, ethyl formate, was also discovered, which is a major precursor to amino acids.
