Interstellar chemistry: Molecular nitrogen in space
Theodore P. Snow1
Abstract
Astronomers have found evidence of molecular nitrogen in the clouds of gas between the Earth and a distant star. The chemistry involved in the formation of these diffuse clouds might need to be rethought.
On page 636 of this issue, David C. Knauth and colleagues1 claim the first detection of molecular nitrogen (N2) in interstellar space.
