My Kind of Comet

The only way to fly!

Ethyl alcohol and a simple sugar known as glycolaldehyde were detected in Comet Lovejoy, said the study in the journal Science Advances.
"These complex organic molecules may be part of the rocky material from which planets are formed," said the study.
Other organic molecules have previously been discovered in comets, most recently in comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, on which the European space agency's Philae found several organic molecules -- including four never detected before on a comet.

I know, I know, ethylene is he poison form, but getting closer....!   It's only a matter of time...
