– PAHs are organic compounds that can form in cold regions of space.
– PAHs are found in nebulas, protoplanetary disks, the interstellar medium and meteorites.
– PAHs are the building blocks of life.
– PAHs may have formed on the asteroid Ryugu, which is a C-type asteroid that contains a significant amount of carbon and water.
– PAHs may have formed in cold temperatures, which suggests that life could be fostered in such frigid conditions.
