'Interstellar glaciers': NASA's SPHEREx maps vast galactic ice regions
NASA's SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) mission has mapped interstellar ice at an unprecedented scale. Covering regions in our Milky Way galaxy more than 600 light-years across, the ice was found inside giant molecular clouds—vast regions of gas and dust where dense clumps of matter collapse under gravity, giving birth to stars. A study describing these findings was published …
NASA's SPHEREx mission mapped interstellar ice on an unprecedented scale in regions of the Milky Way of more than 600 light-years of extension, within giant molecular clouds where stars are formed, according to a study published on April 15 in The Astrophysical Journal. The finding corresponds to ice reservoirs attached to tiny grains of dust in interstellar space. That ice includes molecules such as water, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, wh…
