Is space \u2026 sweet? As it turns out, interstellar space has sugar \u2014 and it’s the same type of sugar that’s found in raspberries (and self-tanners, surprisingly).<\/p>\n

A sugar compound called erythrulose has been found near the center of our galaxy<\/u><\/a>, swirling amongst the gas and dust like grains of sugar in a cotton candy machine. More specifically, this sugar was detected in a molecular cloud in the interstellar medium<\/u><\/a>, or the space between star systems in a galaxy. And while we may not be able to use this sugar to make some kind of cosmic candy, scientists think that it could hold the clues to life’s origins.<\/p>\n
