" As the weather continues to be poor and the clouds unbroken over the Jodrell Plank Observatory, Pip has busied himself by reprocessing old data. The Great Molecular cloud in the constellation Orion the Hunter is an interesting area of nebulosity sporting many new bright young blue stars and much ionised gas". - Joel Cairo CEO of the Jodrell Plank Observatory.
