Space isn't just a cold, vacuum. Scattered throughout the vast interstellar void are giant clouds of gas and dust, some containing surprising molecules. One such cloud, called Sagittarius B2, holds a massive amount of ethyl alcohol – the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages!
The alcohol cloud in Sagittarius B2 is estimated to contain enough ethanol to fill billions of quadrillions of glasses of wine! (That's a lot of wine!) While you probably wouldn't want to take a sip (it's mixed with other gases and dust), this discovery raises intriguing questions about the potential for life-forming molecules existing in space. Do you think this finding increases the possibility of finding extraterrestrial life? Could there be other "cosmic cocktails" out there, with different organic molecules?

Space is full of surprises! Imagine stumbling upon a cosmic cloud filled with enough ethanol to throw the galaxy's biggest party! 
While it's not exactly a place for a sip, it does make you wonder: could there be more cosmic cocktails hiding out there? 
Who knows, maybe these discoveries could lead us to find some unexpected neighbors in the universe!
