A modified diagram from Meierhenrich (2008) edited to show some other symmetry breaking hypotheses since the book’s publication. Since 2008, Globus et al. (2021) suggested that polarized muons could have led to enantioselective mutagenesis, which in turn could have allowed more favorable mutations to a lineage of proto-organisms or prebiotic chemistry that was using the “correct” chirality. The CISS effect, which has utilized a strong magnetic field and large, flat magnetite surfaces, has been able to produce strong biases. However, it remains to be seen if it can operate in an astrophysically or prebiotically relevant environment. In my own research, I am studying to see whether circularly polarized light could have indirectly influenced the chirality of amino acids and sugar alcohols by first biasing a chiral inorganic intermediate, namely, clinoenstatite. https://www.astrochemistryreport.com/articles/flint2023 monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649b4c4df57a68563f3f3e90/98627e31-4dd3-43c3-8a30-b9669f38dcba/fig1flint.png Articles - Galactic sandbox: From quartz clouds to lunar water generation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649b4c4df57a68563f3f3e90/40a23309-e413-4b45-9eb9-c35649a3da7b/fig2flint.png Articles - Galactic sandbox: From quartz clouds to lunar water generation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.astrochemistryreport.com/articles/rocha2023 monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/649b4c4df57a68563f3f3e90/89e00df6-e626-4d7d-a5b9-e34a44ce43c5/AF0E15A3-EFA7-4216-98A6-FAFCCBE79BFD.jpeg Articles - Detections of Complex Molecules in Interstellar Ices - Make it stand out Figure 1: Fits of JWST spectral data of high-mass protostar IRAS 23385 (top) and low-mass protostar IRAS 2A (bottom) to laboratory infrared data.

This spectrum represents the chemical signature of the disk around the young massive star Orion Source I. It reveals all the molecular species responsible for the emission coming from the disk, seen as “spikes” in the spectrum at different frequencies, and of which the intensities are measured in units of “Jansky per beam” (power per unit area, unit frequency, and unit solid angle). In total, about 60 different transitions of KCl (in blue) and NaCl (in red) were identified, confirming their detection. Image credit: The Astrophysical Journal, Ginsburg, A., et al.

The narrow vertical extent of the salt emission indicates that NaCl is off the dust grains following their destruction, nearly immediately after being raised from the surface of the disk. The background image, taken from the Gemini Observatory, shows the Orion cloud, a region of explosive starbirth, located about 1500 light-years from Earth.
