The chemistry of the Cosmos takes place not only in the stars themselves ... but also in Deep Space!

The universe is awash in chemistry. What used to be thought of as a vast ocean of thinly spread hydrogen and dust is now known to be teeming with complex molecules of all kinds. From the carbon monoxide of comet tails to the PAH's (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) of the interstellar dust, these 8 colorful samples and a 6-page, in-depth information sheet explain the newly emerging science of interstellar chemistry.
