Scientists discover molecules that store much of the carbon in space.

Discovery of pyrene derivatives in a distant interstellar cloud may help to reveal how our own solar system formed.

Pyrene is a type of large carbon-containing molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

MIT researchers say pyrene accounts for about 0.1 percent of all the carbon found in TMC-1 .

Pyrene may have been the source of much of the carbon in our own solar system.

Scientists now plan to look for even larger PAH molecules in the interstellar cloud.
