      It’s someone who tries to explain the observations on chemical substances made by astronomers (i.e., what’s out there and where) using the principles of chemistry (i.e., the physics and maths that help us understand how chemistry happens).

    An astrochemist is an astronomer that looks into the chemistry of space. The elements that are present in space. They use cool telescopes called radio telescopes to detect the different types of electromagnetic radiation emitted by objects in space.
