cosmoˈchemistry
[cosmo-.]
The study of the chemical properties of the heavenly bodies and of the formation and distribution of elements and compounds in them and in the universe as a whole.
1940R. Wildt in Scientia LXVII. 87 On observing how the material aspect of cosmic phenomena has come into the focus of interest, the question may be raised whether it would not be a timely expansion of the notion of geochemistry to adopt the term cosmochemistry to designate the science which shall deal with matter under all cosmic conditions. 1960McGraw-Hill Encycl. Sci. & Technol. III. 503/1 The data of cosmochemistry provide important boundary conditions for both cosmological theories and theories pertaining to the composition and evolution of the planet Earth. 1969Sci. Jrnl. Apr. 33/1 His current research interests are in molecular physics, cosmochemistry and biophysics.
Hence cosmoˈchemical a., of or pertaining to cosmochemistry; cosmoˈchemically adv., from a cosmochemical point of view.
1940R. Wildt in Scientia LXVII. 86 A comprehensive elucidation of.. early trends of cosmochemical speculation is much to be desired, as they must have influenced the developement [sic] of the exact sciences. 1957G. E. Hutchinson Treat. Limnol. I. iv. 221 That abundant water should exist at the surface of the earth is cosmochemically anomalous. 1963H. C. Urey (title) Some cosmochemical problems. 1970Nature 31 Jan. 440/2 Cosmochemical arguments could support Ambartsumyan's concept of the presence of massive bulks of prestellar matter in the nuclei of galaxies. |
