I have to write a 10 page science report on how chemistry is connected to astronomy, and can't seem to find any good information on how the two relate. Can someone give me a site, or enough body paragraph topics (that I could farther research) on how it is related to write 10 pages worth of information.

please and thank you.

exobiology
cryogenics
planetary atmospheres
stellar composition using spectroscopy
radio astronomy and gases, dust
comets and asteroids composition
cosmology
 
Look up astrobiology (i know its biology and seems silly when you want chemisty but trust me...)
Astrobiology has a lot to do with chemistry, It is basically the study of how life started on Earth, how it survived and how it evolved. It is then applying that knowledge to other planets and trying to predict (Chemically) the chance of life on new planets that we are finding.

It is basically about analyzing life on the chemical and molecular scale and trying to put some numbers to how we would find other life in the universe.

Im sorry i don't have any links, but just try searching for Astrobiology or Astrochemisty. Ill update this if i find anything good for you :)
