2. Hold on, just let me get these
puns out of my [solar] system
* Cue applause *

3. Sagittarius B2 is a fancy dust cloud in space.
Scientists were looking for complex organic chemicals
such as amino acids, they didn’t find any of those but
they found other cool stuff!!!

4. SAGITTARIUS B2 is an amazing
scientific find because as chemicals
found in space become more
complex, we become closer to
finding other life
~Let’s explore the magic together~

5. Ethyl Formate
• A Super cool Chemical Found in Sgr B2
• Responsible for the taste of Raspberries!
– Also helps create the smell of rum!

6. It’s Pretty Darn Huge!!
• Total Mass is about 3 Million times the mass
of our sun!!
• Spans a region of 150 LY across!
• Is 20-40 denser than they average molecular
cloud!

7. You’re hot then your cold
(you’re yes then you’re no)
• Temperatures in the cloud vary from 300 K
(27 °C) to 40 K (−233.2 °C) !!!!!! WOW!!!!!

8. Stand up, Drank
• Contains over ten billion liters of alcohol!
• Don’t get too excited, most is undrinkable 

What Feature of Sgr B2 do you
find the most interesting?
tastes like
Raspberries
Smells like Rum
Total mass is 3
million times the
mass of our sun
Temperatures vary
from 300k (27 C) to
40k (-233.2 C)
Has over 10 billion
liters of alcohol
inside
• What our class
is interested in
is spread fairly
evenly, but we
seem to be a
group of people
who care about
mass.
TAKE THE SURVEY!!!

10. The Big Question…
WHY DOES THIS
MATTER?!?!?!?!?!?!?

11. We Learn About Our Universe!
• The Universe is a magical and mysterious
place
• Finding complex organic chemicals in space
could help us uncover the secrets of our own
creation

12. Find Other Life
• If we find life outside of our planet, we will
no longer feel like we are alone in the
universe.
