European Space Agency (ESA) Herschel infrared space telescope, for the first time confirmed the presence of oxygen molecules in space.

Oxygen, although there are widespread, especially around massive stars, the air we breathe in about 20 percent so far astronomers have confirmed the presence of oxygen molecules in space edememişlerdi. Pancake contributing American Aerospace Agency (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Paul Goldsmith, in 1770 the discovery of oxygen gas, a simple detection of the presence of oxygen molecules in space is for the time indicated that more than 230 years.

Goldsmith and his colleagues, powder-coated droplets of ice remained in prison, and Orion nebulasında of oxygen within the oxygen in the detected starlight revealed the water ice and dust mixture ısıtmasıyla, think later turned into oxygen molecules. These observations showed that oxygen could be stored in space where astronomers, occurring in regions other stars sürdüreceklerinin chalked research. The scientists, space, place and space based telescopes to confirm the presence of oxygen, as well as the balloons continued to research for decades. (AA)
