Scientists found a true sugar between stars.
This is the first such find.
It is called erythrulose, a kind of sugar.
It was in a cloud of gas and dust.
The cloud is near the Milky Way’s center.
Large radio telescopes found its special signals. (doi.org)
Erythrulose is also found in raspberries.
But space is not a big sweet shop!
The space sugar is very hard to find.
It may form on tiny pieces of dust.
Sugar is important for life.
This find may teach us about early life.
Think about sugar in your morning fruit.
Some sugar can also begin in space. (natureasia.com)
