The Taurus molecular cloud (TMC-1) is an interstellar cloud in the constellations Taurus and Auriga .

The molecules were detected using data from the Yebes Telescope in Spain .

The presence suggests there are complex chemical processes taking place in space.

These molecules could reveal information about the origins of life as we know it in the universe.

Many of the molecules discovered are not even included in the reaction networks used in astrochemistry.

Agúndez says they are currently working on a solution, which they will publish in a future study.

The data is helping to build a growing platform of knowledge that scientists will be able to use to piece together the mystery of life in the universe.
