ikenbot: Giant Molecular Clouds Scattered throughout the interstellar medium - the space between stars - giant molecular clouds, comprised primarily of hydrogen, are the reservoir of raw materials from which stars are born. By surveying the density and temperature of these cosmic clouds, Spitzer provides important clues about the physical conditions and chemical compositions that produce protostars, or baby stars.
