Spitzer Finds Life Components in Young Universe
July 28, 2005 - Spitzer Finds Life Components in Young Universe. Using Spitzer, scientists have detected organic molecules in galaxies when our universe was one-fourth of its current age of about 14 billion years. These large molecules, known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are comprised of carbon and hydrogen. The molecules are considered to be among the building blocks of life

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Spitzer Finds Life Components in Young Universe" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through the vastness of space. Captured by the Spitzer telescope, it unveils a breathtaking view from outer space, showcasing an array of galaxies when our universe was just a quarter of its current age. The image beautifully illustrates the groundbreaking discovery made by scientists using Spitzer - the detection of organic molecules in these ancient galaxies. Specifically, they have identified polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), large carbon and hydrogen-based molecules that are considered to be fundamental building blocks for life as we know it. In this horizontal composition, vibrant colors blend harmoniously to depict the galactic wonders that lie beyond our reach. The absence of people enhances the sense of solitude and awe-inspiring magnitude present within this cosmic landscape. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries of our existence. It serves as a testament to our insatiable curiosity about life's origins and potential beyond Earth. While not intended for commercial use, this remarkable piece invites us to ponder upon our place in this vast universe and contemplate whether there may be other forms of life scattered among these distant stars.
