There is much speculation about the chemistry occurring in
astronomical environments, but without observation of such
environments, speculation is without foundation. Observational
astrochemistry is the foundation on which astrochemistry is built.
It offers us a window into a world that would otherwise be beyond
our reach. Chemical spectroscopy lets us identify chemical species
and probe their environments; gas-phase, surface, solid-state and
photochemically-induced chemical processes drive the evolution of
our Galaxy and others; chemical evolution controls the formation of
stars and planets; chemistry is the forerunner that brings us to
the edge of biology and of life itself. This window on our universe
is being opened more widely as a revolution in the observational
capabilities available to astronomers is expected to continue
through the 2020s and beyond. This Faraday Discussion volume brings
together internationally leading experimental and theoretical
scientists from across the fields of astronomy, chemistry, and
physics to explore and exchange their ideas about our chemical
understanding of the Universe. The topics are organised into the
following sections: Observational astrochemistry in the age of
ALMA, NOEMA, JWST and beyond Laboratory astrochemistry of the gas
phase Laboratory astrochemistry of and on dust and ices
