Study Reveals Stars Are Still Born In Large Gas Clouds’ Womb

A new study reveals even today stars of all types are being born. A study says the stars are born in the wombs of giant clouds of gas.

Scientists at the Coonabarabran in Australia have detected such humongous clouds with the help of 22 inches long Mopra Telescope.

The gas clouds in which the stars are born are mainly composed of carbon monoxide, the easiest gas that can be seen in space. Apart from hydrogen, carbon monoxide is commonly found in space. However, the formation of the gas clouds is still a mystery.

Another type of gas clouds are the “dark” ones that scientists say it may be composed primarily of molecular hydrogen, which are too cold to detect with the current scientific instruments.

Scientists believe huge gas clouds are formed by the collective gravitational draw of several smaller clouds.

In May this year astronomers also discovered some dark clouds between neighboring galaxies that are made of hydrogen gas. Scientists estimate one star is born every year inside large gas clouds.

Reports says, “Not all “stars” that are born are human ones, and not all of the stars that exist have been around since the beginning of time. Just like the birth of new volcanoes or mountain ranges on the Earth and other planets, stars, themselves, can be “born.” They are born in the “wombs” of giant clouds of gas.”
