Astronomy Cast Ep. 116: Molecules In Space

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From November 24, 2008. As part of her trip to England, Pamela had a chance to sit down with Oxford astrophysicist Chris Lintott and record an episode of Astronomy Cast. From the first stars to the newest planets, molecules and the chemistry that allows them to form affects all aspects of astronomy. While most astronomers group molecules into three bins of hydrogen, helium and everything else, there are a few who do proper chemistry by studying the sometimes complex molecules that form between the stars.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
