Little bitty knots of stuff--compared to the big cloud. But this finding, if it pans out, suggests to me that the star forming cloud is bigger than we thought, and probably has a pretty large angular momentum to it.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792036361407527304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-54301639615621897162017-06-15T21:17:39.113-04:002017-06-15T21:17:39.113-04:00That last bit of info about them lining up with th...That last bit of info about them lining up with the long axis of the "egg shaped dense core" suggested to me that perhaps the foci of the egg are the points of condensation that form stars, and it's the shape of this 'star factory' that produces pairs, not that ALL stars are produced in pairs.. Reading the link, that's apparently the case, but I'm wondering how they know most star factories are egg shaped? Most nebulae are rather irregular visually- perhaps in other parts of the spectrum they reveal egg shaped cores?douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241790925053112959noreply@blogger.com
