Discover if sugars in our bodies originated from space, as astronomers find complex sugars in deep interstellar clouds.

Erythrulose, which has four carbon atoms, is the most complex sugar spotted beyond our Solar System.

The latest discovery in the galactic center strengthens the Milky Way's resemblance to a mouth-watering treat.

The discovery suggests that the ingredients for life existed long before stars and planets formed.
