✦ Synopsis

The tail of comets such as Hale-Bopp may contain gas-phase carbonic acid. In their Communication on page 1939 ff., Grothe, Loerting, and co-workers report the IR spectra of carbonic acid molecules trapped from the gas phase, information critical in identifying this compound in astrophysical environments.
