Cell-like vesicles created using materials known to exist in interstellar space
Cell-like vesicles created using materials known to exist in interstellar space

This is a vesicle (~10 µm across) glowing under black light in the microscope made from the bulk residue. Proof that it is a hollow vesicle, rather than a simple drop of oil, is the green pyranine dye which we have trapped inside of it.

Droplets created using materials known to exist in interstellar space exhibit cell-like complexityDroplets created using materials known to exist in interstellar space exhibit cell-like complexity

These droplets (small ones are ~10 µm across) glowing under black light in the microscope show internal structure and suggest chemical complexity. They are from a chemically separated fraction of the bulk residue.
