Talk:Interstellar cloud

First message from 2001

I believe the methods detailed explaining how IC's are analysed are the main methods used. The experiment detailing reaction rates has been moved to its own page. I think this is OK now... -- sodium

Densities

This page and related ones (ISM, molecular cloud, etc.) need typical densities, as well as external references. --zandperl 18:19, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

No chemistry?

Excerpt: "Coupled with newly detailed information about the ice composition of interstellar clouds from JWST, scientists may finally be able to determine for sure whether amino acids formed in our solar system or in interstellar space.

If the former, then it is possible that life could be unique to our solar system. If the latter, then amino acids should be spread far and wide across the Milky Way galaxy, raising the potential for life on planets around other stars."

Interesting stuff. Merits an add, I think. IF someone has access to that ACS journal, that would be helpful. Pete Tillman (talk) 19:56, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
