Miller-Urey synthesis in the nuclei of galaxies

The most promising venues for the synthesis of prebiotic molecules by Mille r-Urey type processes may be found near the centres of galaxies. Explosions of supermassive stars would produce the basic chemical elements necessary to make molecules in high-density mass flows that are then acted upon by io nizing radiation, thus simulating the conditions needed for Miller-Urey typ e processing.
