An international research group has potentially discovered the star -forming gas cloud that is so close to our solar system that it will be one of the largest structures in the night sky – if they can be seen. It has made the US Ratgar University public and explained that the so-called molecular clouds were baptized on “EOS”-after the Greek Devi of the morning. The structure is a huge pill made of hydrogen, which was found directly in long -term ultraviolet spectrum. If you can see it with your eyes, it will be bigger many times in the night sky than the whole moon.
Intersteller gas, which is mainly made up of molecular hydrogen, is known as molecular clouds. These birthplace of stars also contain other substances including carbon monoxide, American universities stateBecause they are very easy to prove through radio and infrarottelescopes, they have been mainly discovered and researched. Now the discovery presented is based on the direct detection of hydrogen in the long -term ultraviolet spectrum itself. The molecules will shine in it, “The cloud is really shining in the dark,” the research director Blacksle Berkhart explains.
Berkhart says that the discovery of molecular clouds, which is only 300 light years away, is very exciting because the origin and development of such a structure can now be detected directly. It can be investigated how a galaxy converts dust and gas into wires and planets. In addition, the underlying observation method in search can improve our understanding of the intersteller medium and can reveal other gas clouds hidden so far.
