Astronomers Reveal Supersonic, Tangled Filaments in Distant Gas Cloud

A team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), has uncovered an unexpected and intricate network of tangled, supersonic filaments within a very-high-velocity cloud (VHVC) named G165. This cloud, moving at 300 kilometers per second and located approximately 50,000 light-years from Earth, offers a unique glimpse into the early stages of interstellar cloud formation. Published in …
