(CNN) - The Hubble Space Telescope has identified soccer ball-shaped molecules amid the gas and dust that fills the space beyond our solar system and between other star systems. That space is known as the interstellar medium or ISM, and Hubble is exposing some of the mysterious electrically charged molecules within it. Some of the compounds that make up the interstellar medium block or absorb different wavelengths of starlight as it passes through this space. Life as we know it is carbon-based, and now carbon has been shown to form and survive in the harsh and exposed interstellar medium.
