[From atoms to #stars...] Thanks to the NSF's Green Bank Telescope, astronomers (including Luigi Tibaldo from IRAP) have managed to map the dark molecular gas #CO in one of the most active star-forming regions in our galaxy: #CygnusX.
It is now possible to observe the transformation of simple atoms into complex molecular structures that will one day become stars and planets: https://public.nrao.edu/news/astronomers-map-mysterious-dark-gas-in-the-milky-way/ 👍 👏
