Scientists have used data collected by an exquisitely sensitive instrument on the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe to find a stunning collection of complex organic molecules at the comet known as Chury.

Bruce Betts will continue the cometary commentary with this week’s Random Space Fact.  There’s more to discover at https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2022-hanni-altwegg-wampfler-chury
