COSMIC MESSAGE

Scientists have found tiny cosmic time capsules in fullerenes, also known as buckyballs. These large, enclosed molecules can trap smaller molecules during their formation. Fullerenes found in an ancient meteorite contained extraterrestrial gases, providing a direct sample of the early solar system's composition. This discovery offers a unique way to study billions of years of cosmic history.
