JWST Just Found Something Impossible in a Galaxy We Couldn't See

The James Webb Space Telescope just discovered organic molecules—including benzene, methane, and the methyl radical—inside a galaxy hidden behind thick cosmic dust. This is the first time these building blocks of life have been detected outside the Milky Way, and it's changing where scientists think complex chemistry can form in the universe. In this video: What organic molecules JWST detected Why finding them in an ultra-luminous infrared galaxy is surprising How JWST's infrared vision made this discovery possible What this means for the search for life beyond Earth SOURCES: University of Oxford (Feb 12, 2026): https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...
