This CRPA award addresses the exciting contemporary chemical science that occurs in interstellar space. The new interferometers coming online this year will enhance this new area of science and further intrigue those who engage. The plan in this award is to build an exhibit that will interest the audience with the space-based aspects, but will also engage them in understanding the chemistry that occurs in space. This is a collaborative effort between the University of Virginia and the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. The exhibit is relatively small facilitating its mobility. Thus, the authors will travel the exhibit to smaller venues in rural areas and embrace citizens who are typically under-served by educational opportunities of ISE venues. The target audience is 12-15 year old youths. Clearly, this project is meant to engage the public in both Space science and Chemistry with the ultimate hope that some individuals will even think about careers in the joint science field that is emerging from these types of behaviors.

这个CRPA奖致力于星际空间中令人兴奋的当代化学科学。今年上线的新干涉仪将增强这一新的科学领域，并进一步吸引那些参与其中的人。这个奖项的计划是建立一个展览，将与空间方面的观众感兴趣，但也将让他们了解在太空中发生的化学。这是弗吉尼亚大学和哈佛-史密森天体物理天文台之间的合作努力。展览相对较小，便于移动。因此，作者将前往展览在农村地区的较小的场地，并拥抱公民谁是典型的伊势场地的教育机会不足。目标受众是12-15岁的青少年。显然，这个项目旨在让公众参与空间科学和化学，最终希望一些人甚至会考虑在这些行为中出现的联合科学领域的职业生涯。
