As for methane:
"Neptune's blue color is largely the result of absorption of red light by methane in the atmosphere but there is some additional as-yet-unidentified chromophore which gives the clouds their rich blue tint."

Where you have CH4 you will get C2H6 and so on than add Nitrogen and Oxygen and a bit of loving you will have amino acids the units of DNA.

Re: oil on the moon
There is a debate if crude oil is the by-produce of ancient algae filled seabeds transformed over the eons to oil, or if the hydro-carbons are part of the "Star Stuff" that formed the Earth, oil on the moon could answer the question.ta152h0 wrote:For fear of showing some of my ignorance in public, but does anyone here know the chemical-mechanical reaction required to " make crude oil" ????
The chemical makeup of crude oil varies greatly across the planet, I haven't look into why, but something, either in the creating or preserving process causes a difference. Coal to natural gas are parts of the same chemical-mechanical reaction process as crude.
The more I learn, the more I know what I don't know.

There are different types of Crude Oil.
Oceanic plates that are recycled every 500 odd million years compared to continental plates that go for 2 or 3 billion years. This oil is renewable if you wait for it.
Sedimentary collected plants and animals. Shale oil
and so on.
Crude oil is mostly oragnic with high carbon molecules.

Harry, a quote with link to an article, not the article itself but points brought out in the article such as:
Considerations About Recent Predictions of Impending Shortages of Petroleum Evaluated from the Perspective of Modern Petroleum Science(1.) The potential to produce petroleum from the crystalline basement, from volcanic structures, from impact structures, and from non-sedimentary regions generally has been entirely neglected.
