In the outermost layers of stars - especially cool stars - and in interstellar space, temperatures become very low and conditions are favourable for atoms to combine as molecules and for molecules to aggregate as grains of dust. What sorts of molecules and dust are formed in interstellar space? This dust is very important for us because eventually it is gathers together to form new stars and planets. ... R Corona Borealis ( R CrB ) was the first star discovered to show this dimming in 1795. ...

... Your main research interests concern neutral hydrogen. ... That means that there must be enormous quantities of gas lying around, waiting for the chance to collapse under its own weight into lumps and form stars and galaxies. If we could actually observe this gas, as it moves around and assembles itself into lumps, we would be directly observing the process of galaxy formation. ... Optical astronomers seem to think that they can observe galaxy formation by taking optical images. ... In galaxies. ...
