Glycolaldehyde is the simplest of the monosaccharide sugars and is directly linked to the origin of life. [...] We also show that only small amounts of CO need to be processed on grains in order for existing hot core gas-grain chemical models to reproduce the observed column densities of glycolaldehyde, making surface reactions the most feasible route to its formation.

Still it's about as unexpected as "Lego blocks found in child's toy chest."
