Milky Way is full of toxic 'space grease', study reveals
An Australian-Turkish team has discovered "space grease" in the Milky Way galaxy, enough for 40 trillion trillion trillion packs of toxic butter, by recreating the carbon-based compounds in laboratory. A future spaceship travelling through interstellar space might get a sticky coating, "but not the kind of thing you'd want to spread on a slice of toast," said the study's co-author.
