Runnymede Library: A Star is Born: Uncovering the True Nature of Molecular Clouds

Giant molecular clouds are the birthplace of stars and planets; however, the true nature of these clouds remains a great mystery. The first step towards achieving a greater understanding of star formation is exploring the structure and evolution of the clouds in which they form.
