astrochemistry
Definition(s)
- Astrochemistry is the study of the chemical interactions between the gas and dust of the interstellar medium. Astrochemistry began with the observation of neutral hydrogen's 21-centimeter line, which revealed an abundance of hydrogen between the stars. Since that time, more than 130 types of interstellar molecule have been detected. Scientists are now expanding their search to more complex, organic (carbon-rich) molecules that may hold the key to how life began.
