Astronomical searches for H2CCC and H2CCCC, based on frequencies from our laboratory identifications, have resulted in detections toward TMC-1 and IRC+10216. These new interstellar species are possibly the first of a new family of highly polar carbon chains; they are only the second and third carbenes (carbon molecules with two nonbonded electrons) known in space.
