They think it has now moved beyond that region to the heliosheath, the final layer of the solar system where the solar wind meets the interstellar matter like a wave crashing onto a shore.

The observatory became involved in design and construction of photometric equipment for telescopes, in the study of variable stars, physical and chemical properties of stars, interstellar matter, the structure of the Milky Way, Triangulum galaxies.

According to the theory, as a cloud of interstellar matter compresses and collapses, forming a new star, rotational forces cause the residual dust and gas to form a flat disk and then fragment and coalesce as planets.

Its five interferometer radiotelescopes, high above most atmospheric pollution in a part of the Alps that receives extremely little precipitation, pick up radio emissions that let scientists learn about the formation of stars and galaxies and interstellar matter.
35.
Quantum chemistry allows researchers to study substances that are difficult to produce in the laboratory and thus has a wide range of applications such as studying interstellar matter and how pollutants such as freon react with the ozone layer.
36.
The provenance of the small fraction that is stardust ( see above ) is quite different; these refractory interstellar minerals thermally condense within stars, become a small component of interstellar matter, and therefore remain in the presolar planetary disk.

His astrophysical work in Solar physics and Interstellar Matter was recognized both nationally and internationally by his election as a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society ( UK ) in 1972 and as a Member of International Astronomical Union ( IAU ) in 1973.

It is disconcerting to find that in such a cosmic year the Earth does not condense out of interstellar matter until early September, dinosaurs emerge on Christmas Eve; flowers arise on December 28; and men and women originate at 10 : 30 P . M on New Year's Eve.

On 8 February 2010, the oldest Dutch university in Leiden bestowed an honorary doctorate on Reinhard Genzel, astrophysicist and director at the MPE, for " his ground-breaking research into interstellar matter and the central regions of galaxies, in particular the evidence for a black hole at the centre of our own galaxy, and his drive to get the required innovative infrared instrumentation developed ".
