Interstellar sugar cloud: not Atkins-compliant

An enormous cloud of high-carb, life-giving frozen sugar has been discovered at the end of the Milky Way.

Molecules of a simple sugar, glycolaldehyde, were detected in a cloud of gas and dust called Sagittarius B2 about 26,000 light years away.

Observations indicated large quantities of the sugar frozen to a temperature only a few degrees above absolute zero, the point at which all molecular movement stops.
