Abstract: This popular science article explores the unique significance of organic matter andorganic compounds as a fundamental and perhaps the most valuable resource in theuniverse. It draws parallels between organic matter as the basis of life on Earth andits detection in various celestial bodies within and beyond the Solar System. Thediscussion covers chemical stability, structural diversity, and the potential role oforganic compounds in the origin and evolution of life. Emphasis is placed on theuniversality of carbon chemistry as a key factor unifying biological andcosmochemical processes.
