使行星生命成形的「銀河食譜」

Life depends on a rare mix of luck, chemistry, and cosmic conditions. Earthlike planets are surprisingly common, with about a billion in our galaxy potentially sitting at the right distance from their stars for water to stay liquid. New telescope technology has revealed hydrogen cyanide—lethal to humans, but essential for life’s chemical beginnings—lurking in planet-forming disks across the cosmos. The basic ingredients for life appear widespread, but the leap from ingredients to living worlds remains an unsolved mystery.
