💫 ​W pobliżu centrum naszej galaktyki, Drogi Mlecznej, unosi się gigantyczna, międzygwiezdna chmura pyłu i gazu o nazwie Sagittarius B2. Chmura ta, rozciągająca się na 150 lat świetlnych, zawiera w sobie niewyobrażalne ilości złożonych cząsteczek organicznych, w tym miliardy miliardów litrów alkoholu winylowego. Co ciekawe, w chmurze tej odkryto również mrówczan etylu – związek chemiczny, który nadaje malinom ich smak, a także pachnie jak rum.

A massive cloud of gas located near the center of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains a significant amount of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), alongside other complex molecules, is essentially a giant cloud of "space alcohol." This cloud is often described as smelling like "raspberry rum" due to the presence of certain esters.
