About The Event
Have you ever wondered what what astronomical objects are made of and how we know? Tonight's session will take us through many of the molecules that have been spotted by our amazing array of space based and ground based telescopes and also some that we've physically collected using space craft. This ever growing body of knowledge is a key input to the development of plans for further exploration and exploitation of space.
