Deuterated hydrogen cyanide (DCN) was detected in a comet, C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp), with the use of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The inferred deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ratio in hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is (D/H)$_{HCN}$ = (2.3 ± 0.4) × 10$^{-3}$. This ratio is higher than the D/H ratio found in cometary water and supports the i...
