[00:00:00]Deep inside the constellation Aquila, a colossal cloud of alcohol spans 300 billion miles across, large enough to fill Earth's oce.

[00:00:10]Known as Sagittarius B2, this massive reservoir of organic molecules contains ethyl alcohol, the same kind found in drinks, floating as a freezing vapor among the stars. While it isn't pure enough to consume, its existence proves that the complex building blocks of life are forged in the chaos of deep space.

[00:00:30]Scientists believe these cosmic distilleries act as chemical laboratories where starlight triggers reactions that create the amino acids necessary for biology. We are literally breathing in the remnants of a galaxy that smells like rum and raspberries.
