Spitzer water and gases in a planet forming zone

Spitzer Space Telescope NASA has discovered the presence of large amounts of simple organic gases and water vapor in a planet-forming region, today unveiled the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) NASA. Both

organic gases and water vapor in a disk rotating around a new star, which is evidence that these molecules were created there, JPL said in a newsletter. He adds that the discovery was made possible thanks to increased capacity enhances telescope's vision early in training planets, which could increase knowledge about the origin of our solar system and the potential for life elsewhere.

That capability was accomplished by John Carr, a scientist at Naval Research Laboratory (Washington) and Joan Najita of the National Optical Observatory in Tucson (Arizona). Protoplanetary disks

They used Spitzer's infrared spectrograph to which measured and analyzed the chemical composition of protoplanetary disk gas. These discs are masses of gas and dust that whirl around a young star, and scientists believe they are the basic material for the formation of planets and moons, after billions of years become planetary systems like ours.

The observation point was the area of \u200b\u200bthe star AA Tauri, which has less than a million years and is typical of young stars with protoplanetary disks.

With the new procedure, scientists detected simple organic molecules, such as hydrogen cyanide, acetylene and carbon dioxide, plus water vapor.
