Does anyone remember the cloud of Alcohol Gas that was found a couple of years back now? I was wondering if anyone coulld enlighten me about the cloud's creaation itself. As far as I new it takes bacteria such as yeast to secrete alcohol. Does this mean there is or was a Bacterial lifeform out there which secreted the alcohol and enough bacteria to create such a large amount of gas? I don't mean to seem ignorant or anything but not to ask would be more stupid than asking. We can only learn by enquiring after all. I have tried to research it, but as it was awhile ago I can only find informtion related to it existance only. If anyone can illucidate me I would appreciate it.
Vinyl Alcohol molecules were discovered with the 12 metre Kitt Peak Telescope in 2001 http://www.spacedaily.com/news/life-01zi.html
As yet there seems to be no viable explanation as to how such complex molecules could have formed.
