Galaxies May still be forming astronomers say Washington a the nation Al science foundation says astronomers believe they have stumbled across Evi Dence that galaxies May still be forming in the universe. The evidence is a massive Cloud of Hydrogen. 10 times larger than the Milky Way Galaxy All by itself and close by astronomical standards 65 million Light years away the foundation said monday. The discovery would appear to Chal Lenge the current belief that All galaxies were formed within the first few Hundred million years after the big bang explosion dispersed Hydrogen and matter in the universe. The Hydrogen Cloud was found by Ric Cardo Giovanelli. Adjunct professor of astronomy at Cornell University and head of the radio astronomy group at the foundation s National astronomy and ionosphere Center in Arecibo puerto Rico and co worker. Martha Haynes. Associate professor of astronomy at Cor Nell. Before stumbling into this thing Nei ther i nor Martha were great believers inthe existence of such  Giovanelli said. But this Cloud indicates that the discs of galaxies can form slowly throughout the history of the universe and not just be something that happened during some magic period in the Distant  Giovanelli and Haynes found the Cloud while calibrating detectors attached to the 1,000-foot dish radio Tele scope at Arecibo. For calibration they pointed the dish at a Region of the sky thought to be devoid of objects and found the characteristic radio signal of Hydrogen. Astronomers believe galaxies massive groupings of millions to billions of stars must form from the condensation of Hydrogen the simplest Clement a Proton accompanied by an Electron. Previous searches for Cloud prot a Lasics had failed to find anything though there is Strong evidence for the existence of Clouds of Hydrogen. Light from quasars incredibly Bright objects 10 billion or so Light years away from Earth was missing frequencies characteristic of what would be absorbed by Hydrogen in its path. The Cloud emits a Strong radio signal but there arc no stars associated with it and it  not show up in optical sur Veys. Though 10 limes larger than the Milky Way it has Only 10 percent of the Massof that Galaxy and it in t Clear whether the Cloud will evolve into a Galaxy the astronomers said. The Cloud South of the Virgo Cluster consists of two Large clumps of Gas that May be merging they said. A full report will appear in the Astro physical journal.
