About the event
Let's take a tour of the molecular universe! We will travel through time and space beginning with the advent of matter about 13.8 billion years ago before traversing through the interstellar medium and the formation of stars and planets--and the chemistry that evolves alongside them. Along the way, you will learn about the field of astrochemistry and the different ways in which astochemists study objects in space, including recent experiments in teh SubLIME lab at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. You will also hear about exciting discoveries made thus far and some of the big questions that have yet to be answered.
