Buckle Up: NASA-Funded Study Explores Turbulence in Molecular Clouds

On an airplane, motions of the air on both small and large scales contribute to turbulence, which may result in a bumpy flight. Turbulence on a much larger scale is important to how stars form in giant molecular clouds that permeate the Milky Way. In a new NASA-funded study in the journal Science Advances, scientists created simulations to explore how turbulence…
