-reported the first detection of this cyanopolyyne in two transitions (//J// = 18 – 17 and 25 – 24 near 10.5 and 14.5 GHz, respectively) in Heile's Cloud 2 employing the 46 m radio telecope of the Algonquin Radio Observatory before the molecules was detected in the laboratory. The spectroscopic parameters were estimated from the smaller cyanopolyynes. Heile's Cloud 2 is better known as TMC-1.

 More recently, the molecule was also detected in six transitions in the circumstellar shell of the famous carbon star CW Leo:\\

+//Astron. Astrophys.// **640**, Art. No. L13 (2020).\\
+The authors carried out an unbiased molecular line survey with the Yebes 40 m dish between 31 and 50 GHz toward the circumstellar envelope of the famous C-rich AGB star CW Leonis. Numerous transitions of HC<sub>9</sub>N in its lowest excited state //v//<sub>19</sub> = 1 were detected despite the low rotational temperature. The lines could be assigned unambiguously although no laboratory data were available for this excited state. The derived HC<sub>5</sub>N to HC<sub>7</sub>N ratio is extremely low, roughly 2.4. The derived HC<sub>7</sub>N to HC<sub>9</sub>N ratio is still very low, roughly 7.7.\\
