Astronomers have detected a natural sugar found in raspberries in clouds of interstellar dust and gas near the centre of the Milky Way galaxy.

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

Erythrulose—a sugar found in raspberries—is also prevalent in a giant molecular cloud close to our galaxy’s core, scientists have discovered

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.
