Chemical Physics/Spectroscopy/Astrochemistry At present, more than 160 different chemical species have been detected in interstellar space, primarily in giant gas clouds located throughout our Galaxy, and in gas envelopes surrounding old stars. Despite the extreme conditions of interstellar space, which is typically quite cold (T ~ 10-50 K) and very diffuse (n ~ 10³ - 106 particles/cc), chemistry flourishes, producing a wide range of common, but often exotic, compounds, including many reactive radicals and molecular ions. It is now recognized that we live in a molecular universe.
