Scientists find record-breaking collection of molecules in 2 extremely ancient galaxies

ref - SUNRISE: The rich molecular inventory of high-redshift dusty galaxies revealed by broadband spectral line surveys⋆,⋆, https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2023/12/aa47610-23/aa47610-23.html

"...targeting two strongly lensed dusty galaxies observed when the Universe was less than 1.8 Gyr old: APM 08279+5255, a quasar at redshift z = 3.911, and NCv1.143 (H-ATLAS J125632.7+233625), a z = 3.565 starburst galaxy..."

"...and the vibrationally excited HCN and neutral carbon"

My note, looks like a good place now for HCN via abiogenesis to create living cells, space.com reports on HCN periodically as a needed ingredient for abiogenesis to work here :) https://forums.space.com/threads/saturn-moon-enceladus-harbors-key-ingredient-for-life.64535/
