A Negative is a Positive

Wow. I didn't realize that we haven't detected a negatively-charged molecule in space, and didn't know it was that important.

It has been reported that scientists at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have detected this negatively-charged atom/molecule for the very first time. It seems that the presence of such particles is essential in astro-chemistry.

Well, bravo! And I learned another new thing.

Zz.
