Last night, my TV told me there were vast clouds of alcohol in deep space. I decided that I should Google this for information and confirmation and it turns out to be perfectly true, although there would seem to be a little confusion as to whether it’s ethyl alcohol (drinkable) or methyl alcohol (undrinkable).
“Astronomers based at Jodrell Bank Observatory have discovered a giant bridge of methyl alcohol, spanning approximately 288 billion miles, wrapped around a stellar nursery. The gas cloud could help our understanding of how the most massive stars in our galaxy are formed. The new observations were taken with the UK's MERLIN radio telescopes, which have recently been upgraded. The team studied an area called W3(OH), a region in our galaxy where stars are being formed by the gravitational collapse of a cloud of gas and dust.” Click for more.

I heard that dead alcoholics go there... so I'm watching there the half of my friends. Another half is nowhere to be seen, no luck this time.
ReplyDeleteSpace is definitely the place.
