The last year or so has seen the identification of several new interstellar molecules, including C2S, C3S, C5H, C6H, and (probably) HC2CHO in the cold, dark cloud TMC-1; and the discovery of the first interstellar phosphorous-containing molecule, PN, in the Orion "plateau" source. Further interesting results include the observations of 13C3H2 and C3HD, and the first detection of HCOOH (formic acid) in a cold cloud.
在过去一年左右的时间里，人们在寒冷、黑暗的云团TMC - 1中发现了几种新的星际分子，包括C2S、C3S、C5H、C6H以及（可能的）HC2CHO；并且在猎户座“高原”源中发现了首个含磷的星际分子PN。其他有趣的成果还包括对13C3H2和C3HD的观测，以及在冷云中首次检测到HCOOH（甲酸）。
