Look up Dr. György Tarczay or Astrochemistry in general!

There is a whole field of science about studying molecules in space and proving they exist by replicating astronomic conditions in a lab.

I got to tour Dr. Tarczay's lab and it was super impressice. Look up Tarczay VIZSLA for an article about his latest piece of equipment.

/u/drhunny within Mass Spectrometry, we also use "isobar" to refer to fragments that may share the same nominal mass.

As someone who enjoys persistent world fantasy roleplaying, i love running into people who do not know about scientific history.

Whether it be astronomical tools, early conceptions of calculus and much more.

Reason much of that is obscure is because people kinda carries it all with them to the grave since it was good job security.
