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.

CRPA 奖项致力于解决星际空间中令人兴奋的当代化学科学问题。今年上线的新型干涉仪将增强这一新的科学领域，并进一步激发人们的兴趣。该奖项的计划是举办一个展览，让观众对太空方面感兴趣，同时也让他们了解太空中发生的化学反应。这是弗吉尼亚大学和哈佛-史密森天体物理观测站之间的合作成果。展品相对较小，便于流动。因此，作者将把展览带到农村地区较小的场馆，并拥抱那些通常得不到 ISE 场馆教育机会的公民。目标受众是12-15岁的青少年。显然，该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从这些类型的行为中兴起的联合科学领域的职业。
