Synchrotron SOLEIL contributes to the identification and study of the electronic and molecular structure of extraterrestrial material, by reproducing reactions naturally generated by the radiation of our Sun and other stars, and by deciphering the chemical reactions that occur in planetary atmospheres and in interstellar space.
With a focus on...
• Helping to decipher signals of molecules in space.
• Cosmic dust, sources of knowledge.
• Reproducing astrophysical environments, to better understand them
• The molecules of life – delivered from space?
