Scientists are making groundbreaking discoveries using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They analyzed distant bodies in our solar system known as Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs). Their research revealed varying traces of methanol, which plays a crucial role in understanding the formation of our solar system.
This study sheds light on the complex chemical reactions occurring in space. By classifying different TNOs, scientists aim to unravel the mysteries of our solar system’s origins and the potential for life beyond Earth. Understanding these chemical processes not only enhances our knowledge of TNOs but also connects to the broader question of how life might have formed in the universe.
