The cold, dark regions of space between the stars as not quite as empty as you might imagine. This 'interstellar medium' is the vibrant recycling centre of our galaxy - the place where new stars and planets form, and a region of space where chemistry proliferates. As we enter the decade of Astrochemistry, heralded by world-class ground- and space based telescopes such as ALMA and the JWST, the question is why are astronomers interested in molecules? Which molecules are 'out there'?, and what do they tell us about the evolutionary cycle of stars planets, and possibly life itself?
ALL WELCOME!
