      Astrochemistry is all about understanding the role of chemistry in the modern universe. It tells us that we need small molecules to make small stars like our sun. It explains how those molecules are made in the harsh conditions of space and the chemical complexity that we see in our laboratories is sufficient to kick start biology.
