What is "molecular clouds"

Usage examples of "molecular clouds".

There were none of the massive blue-white sparks he'd been able to see in the images their firefly had returned, none of the great supernova blisters, holes blasted into the big molecular clouds by the deaths of giant stars.

We can examine the cores of giant molecular clouds and the black holes at the centers of galaxies.

Some were in open space, some were embedded in nebulosity, surrounded by glowing molecular clouds.

Stars in open and globular stellar clusters, stars in double or multiple systems, stars closer to the center of the Galaxy, stars experiencing more frequent encounters with Giant Molecular Clouds in interstellar space, may all experience higher impact fluxes at their terrestrial planets.

Energetic arguments suggest that a black hole at the center should ingest about a thousandth of a star's mass in a year, already ground into dust from the giant molecular clouds -- with occasional burps if a whole sun gets swallowed.

But there are other compounds in the molecular clouds that speak right up: Carbon monoxide is noisy.

Tens of thousands of huge, dusty molecular clouds speckled the galaxy's spiral arms.

Tens of thousands of huge, dusty molecular clouds speckled the galaxys spiral arms.

Many were cast into the shrouded masses of molecular clouds, which were themselves soon to boil away.
