JWST Data Points to Where Cosmic Buckyballs Form
Key Takeaways
- Astronomers used JWST’s MIRI instrument to revisit Tc 1, the nebula where cosmic buckyballs were first identified in 2010.
- The new data provides a more detailed view of the environment around the dying star and points to where the molecules form.
- The result advances a broader effort to understand how complex carbon chemistry develops in space.
