Astronomers place great faith in their ability to analyse the chemical
composition of distant objects by spectroscopy.
Assuming that such has been done by observers of the source of the
material, how will those predictions shape up? What WILL the material
consist of, and what were the predictions?


My prediction is.
It must be cheese, just like the moon!


I've asked this before, but did an astronomer really compare the spectrum of cheese with that of the moon?
It appears in Robert Heinlein's "Rocketship Galileo" and I've often wondered if it was something he made up or a real event.
