From Wikipedia

Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar. Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes. Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue (400-500 nm peak) fluorescence under ultraviolet light.

In 2010, a strong absorption band of anthracene was observed along a line of sight to a star in the open cluster IC 348, and this may be associated with an intervening molecular cloud.
