The ingredients for life as we know it have been found in the Orion Nebula.
By finely separating the spectrum of incoming light, astronomers are able to detect the chemical fingerprints of molecules like water and methanol. The spectrograph that their work produces can be seen in the image above. The peaks represent the presence of the molecule indicated.
The new data was collected by the Herschel Telescope, launched into space last year by the European Space Agency. Herschel’s HiFi instrument uses a new technique to do more-sensitive spectroscopy. It will enable scientists to better understand the chemistry of space.
The Orion Nebula is located about 1,300 light-years away. No very active star-forming region is closer to Earth. M42, as the nebula is also known, is 24 light-years across.

We need to more closer star system like alpha from Centaurus
Look at the heading of this blog: All Your Minds Are Belong To Us?
Doesn’t sound correct, does it?
Nice articles, though.
Msg from Abeo: It’s based on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
Wow again.
so does that mean von daniken was right? we are all aliens? hmm…
LIFE
1. Add 200ml of water to sulphur dioxide, and gently fold in
2. Pour 1 cup each of hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulphide and formyl cation in to a blender, blitz, and gradually add to the mixture
3. Add 2 tablespoons of methanol
4. Add dimethyl ether to taste
5. Grease a baking tray with deuterium cyanide, then evenly pour in the mixture
6. Sprinkle with acrylonitrile, then bake for aprox. 6 billion years…Gas mark 7
Hi people ,
i known it isnt the issue, but i would like to know if derren brown belives in god?
because here it looks he dont believe but in his book he tell that he believed in it.
He used to be Christian at some point but then became an atheist and is now a non-believer, he talks about it in Tricks of the Mind.
There’s alot of people out there that say we essentially are made up of stardust…i quite like the idea of being made up of something that is so vast and ever expanding…now if only we could harness a link so we could all have powers like the movie Phenomenon.
