Six line doublets and two related lines, discovered with the IRAM 30 m telescope in the millimetre-wave spectrum of IRC +10216, are identified as the J = 26.5→25.5 and J = 29.5→28.5 through 35.5→34.5 rotational transitions of a new "non terrestrial" molecule in a 2Π state. The new radical has an effective rotation constant of 1386.245 MHz and is thought to contain 5 - 6 heavy atoms. It is observed at centimetre wavelengths in TMC1, a cold interstellar cloud, known to be rich in carbon chain molecules. The authors identify it with C6H.
