Abstract
Studies of astronomical masers have progressed in parallel with research on complex molecules, beginning with the original detections of both which occurred some twenty-five or so years ago. Basic aspects of the interpretation of the observational data are discussed with particular application to the 22 GHz water masers in regions of star formation. Specific issues include the nature of the gas dynamical environment based on pumping and other considerations, the structure and energetics from information in the spectral line profiles, and inferences about the strengths of magnetic fields at the highest gas densities from the polarization of maser radiation.
