Astronomers Uncover Vast Hidden Gas Networks Fueling Star Formation in Milky Way
Scientists have created the first large-scale maps of mysterious dark molecular gas that has eluded detection for decades. The breakthrough reveals turbulent gas flows shaping star formation in one of our galaxy’s most active stellar nurseries.
Breakthrough Mapping of Invisible Cosmic Material
Astronomers have reportedly achieved a major breakthrough in observing previously undetectable cosmic material that serves as the fundamental building blocks for new stars. According to reports from an international research team, scientists have created the first extensive maps of what’s known as CO-dark molecular gas within the Cygnus X region, one of the Milky Way’s most productive star-forming areas.
