Astrochemistry is the study of the abundance and reactions of molecules in the universe, and their interaction with radiation. [1] The discipline is an overlap of astronomy and chemistry . The word "astrochemistry" may be applied to both the Solar System and the interstellar medium .
Karin Öberg was born in Nyköping, Sweden. [1] At age 6, her family relocated to Karlskrona, where she spent the rest of her childhood. [1] She was raised alongside two brothers, and attended public primary, secondary, and high schools. [1] In 2001, Öberg's high school chemistry teacher signed her up for the local Chemistry Olympiad.
Infrared spectrum of HH 46/47 (image in inset), with vibrational bands of several molecules labelled in colour. This is a list of molecules that have been detected in the interstellar medium and circumstellar envelopes, grouped by the number of component atoms.
Lucy Marie Ziurys (born May 6, 1957) [1] is an American astrochemist known for her work on high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. She is Regent's Professor of Chemistry & Biology and of Astronomy at the University of Arizona. [2]

Porous chondrite dust particle. Cosmic dust – also called extraterrestrial dust, space dust, or star dust – is dust that occurs in outer space or has fallen onto Earth. [1] [2] Most cosmic dust particles measure between a few molecules and 0.1 mm (100 μm), such as micrometeoroids (<30 μm) and meteoroids (>30 μm). [3]
[1] Stellar abundance of oxygen also appears to be critical to the length of time newly developed planets exist in a habitable zone around their host star. [2] Researchers postulate that if our own sun had a lower abundance of oxygen, the Earth would have ceased to "live" in a habitable zone a billion years ago, long before complex organisms ...
Meteorites are often studied as part of cosmochemistry. Cosmochemistry (from Ancient Greek κόσμος (kósmos) 'universe' and χημεία (khēmeía) 'chemistry') or chemical cosmology is the study of the chemical composition of matter in the universe and the processes that led to those compositions. [1]
