molecular hydrogen

The Barnard 68 nebula is located in the Euphucus constellation, 400 light-years from Earth. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, Dr. Bialy and his team measured for the first time the signals emitted from this nebula as a result of the excitation of molecular hydrogen by cosmic rays.

An international team led by researchers at the Technion found the connection between cold nebulae, cosmic rays, and star formation.
