Astronomers have detected cyanocoronene (C24H11CN) - the largest PAH ever detected in space - in the starless cloud core TMC-1, which is part of the interstellar Taurus Molecular Cloud.
A celestial shadow known as the Circinus West molecular cloud creeps across this image captured with fabricated Dark Energy Camera - one of the most powerful digital cameras in the world.
Eos is a crescent-shaped molecular cloud about 300 light-years from our solar system. It resides on the edge of the Local Bubble, a huge “cavity” in space filled with gas, which is about 1,000 light-years across.
