There's Alcohol in the Middle of the Galaxy!

The video explores Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud in the Milky Way, rich in alcohols like ethanol, vinyl alcohol, and methanol. These clouds, crucial for star formation, contain complex molecules that hint at the building blocks of life, such as amino acids. Despite the presence of alcohols, caution is advised due to the toxic nature of some compounds. The video highlights the potential for discovering life's precursors in space.

What is ethylformate, and what significance does it have in relation to amino acids?

What precautions should one take if visiting Sagittarius B2, based on the properties of its components?
