Violent storms of molecular gas stop star formation

Paris, France - The stellar observatory Herschel observed the phenomenon

The infrared space observatory of ESA (European Space Agency) Herschel noted violent thunderstorms of molecular gas that are dispersed in galaxies. Suspected for years, these flows can remove gas from galaxies and in their way, halting star formation. The winds that Herschel found are extraordinary.
