Rotational Spectroscopy and Observational Astronomy of Prebiotic Molecules
<p>It is now widely believed that prebiotic molecules were delivered to the early Earth by planetesimals and their associated interplanetary dust particles. Yet the formation pathways for these molecules are not clear. Amino acids and sugars have been found in carbonaceous chondrites, but on...
