00:02Some 10 million years ago, a supernova went off, creating an explosion that pushed gas and dust around it outwards.
00:11Remnants of this explosion exist to this day in the shape of molecular clouds, dense regions of gas where stars
00:19form.
00:20New research to measure the shapes and sizes of molecular clouds allowed astronomers to detect the empty cavity in space
00:28created by the supernova.
00:30The discovery shows that the Perseus and Taurus molecular clouds in red and blue and other molecular clouds form from
00:38the powerful effects of supernova.
