The researchers have named the molecular cloud, which is comprised primarily of hydrogen, after the Greek goddess of mythology, “Eos”, and estimate that Eos is approximately 40 moons in diameter and ...

A vast star-forming cloud of molecular hydrogen that is one of the largest single structures in the sky has been discovered hidden near the solar system.. The crescent-shaped cloud—which its ...

Giant molecular cloud (GMC) encompassing the mass of 160,000 suns, reportedly graces the Milky Way Galaxy 23,000 light years away from Earth.

The molecular cloud’s proximity to Earth provides a unique opportunity to study how solar systems form, Burkhart said. “Our discovery of Eos is exciting because we can now directly measure how ...

An invisible molecular cloud that could shed light on how stars and planets form has been detected surprisingly close to Earth. Named Eos after the Greek goddess of the dawn, the cloud of gas ...

The electron cloud model shows that electrons are not shared equally in the water molecule. Electrons are a bit more attracted to the oxygen atom than they are to the hydrogen atoms. This makes the ...

AN electron colliding with a hydrogen molecule can raise it to an excited state from which it may return to the ground-state by dissociating into atoms with or without emission of a light quantum.

The molecular cloud was detected 300 light-years from Earth, closer than any other similar, star-forming clouds. - Thomas Müller (HdA/MPIA)/Thavisha Dharmawardena (NYU) Sign up for CNN’s Wonder ...
