In a new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, an international team of researchers has discovered an outflow of molecular bubbles in a nearby star-forming region of the Milky Way. The bubbles, which are located approximately 1,500 light-years away from Earth, are larger than any previously observed and are believed to be the result of large-scale star formation. The study is the first to use a combination of radio and infrared observations to study the outflow, which is thought to be composed of gas and dust particles. The researchers believe that the bubbles may be able to provide insight into how stars form, how galaxies evolve, and how planets form.
