SUMMARY:Building stars\, planets and the ingredients for life in space
 \, Astronomy Colloquium\, Ewine F. van Dishoeck\, Leiden Observatory\,
  Leiden University\, the Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Thousands of planets have been discovered around stars oth
 er than our<br>\nSun. But how and where are these exo-planets born\, a
 nd why are they so<br>\ndifferent from those in our own solar system? 
  Which ingredients are<br>\navailable to build them?  Thanks to powerf
 ul new telescopes\, including<br>\nthe James Webb Space Telescope\, as
 tronomers can now zoom in to<br>\nplanetary construction sites and stu
 dy their composition.  Water and a<br>\nsurprisingly rich variety of o
 rganic materials are found near forming<br>\nstars\, including simple 
 sugars\, ethers\, alcohols and hydrocarbons.<br>\nHow are these molecu
 les made under the extreme conditions in space and<br>\ncan they be de
 livered to new planets to form the basis for life<br>\nelsewhere in th
 e universe?
