ASTROCHEMISTRY

Astrochemistry delves into the chemical processes that take place in stars, planets, and the interstellar medium, integrating chemistry, physics, astrophysics, and biology. It examines the chemical evolution of the Universe, our solar system, and Earth, highlighting the unique 'alien' chemistry in interstellar gas clouds and star-forming regions. Additionally, it discusses both theoretical and experimental approaches that facilitate Earth-based investigations of these cosmic chemical phenomena.
