By studying the Small Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy with conditions similar to the early cosmos, scientists found that cloud structure and temperature [...]

Fluffy molecular clouds formed stars in the early universe

Stars form in Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), vast clouds of mostly hydrogen that can span tens of light years. These stellar nurseries can form thousands of stars. Astronomers know this because they observe these regions in the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds and watch as stars take shape. But the Universe is more than […] The post Fluffy molecular clouds formed stars in the early universe appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
