By looking at the specific wavelength of the light , scientists think that add up from carbon — but not just any carbon paper , a particular kind where the atoms are arranged in multiple hexagonal rings . No one has been able to spot one of these multi - ring “ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons , ” or PAHs in infinite — even though the infrared emissions entail that these PAHs should make up 10 percent of the population ’s C ....
