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 ...

This newly discovered cloud is 3,400 times the mass of the Sun—and we almost missed it Eos may never form stars—but it’s offering a new way to see the invisible parts of our galaxy.

Named Eos after the Greek goddess of the dawn, the cloud of gas would appear huge in the night sky if visible to the naked eye. It measures roughly 40 moons in width and has a weight about 3,400 ...

The cloud, named Eos after the Greek goddess of dawn, is so massive that its width would measure about 40 moons side-by-side and its mass is 3,400 times that of the Sun. “This thing was pretty ...

Hello, Eos! Recently discovered molecular cloud is believed to be one of the largest structures in the sky and among the closest to Earth and the sun.

“If you were to see this cloud on the sky, it’s enormous,” said Dr. Burkhart, who announced the discovery with colleagues in the journal Nature Astronomy.

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 giant molecular cloud has just been discovered in the Milky Way. This structure, located 23,000 light-years away, weighs the equivalent of 160,000 times our Sun. Using the Green Bank radio ...
