Abstract

Since the discovery of galactic masers in the mid 1960s, their studies have resulted in remarkable deepening of the understanding of physical processes in the interstellar medium and stars. This review presents a brief historical retrospective and current status of radio astronomy studies of masing molecules that trace various stages of stelar evolution.
