The Theory and Observation Group is part of the Astrochemistry Laboratory in the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. We specialize in developing theoretical models for the formation and destruction of molecules in comets, the interstellar medium, and other extraterrestrial environments. We also are active in using radio telescopes to study the chemistry of these same regions of the galaxy.
