      CG 30 & CG 31 – Cometary Globules

      "In the cosmos, dust is the currency, the medium of exchange. Every now and then, these clouds of dust clump together through gravity, forming solar systems and galaxies. And they go through their cycles. The Sun burns out after a little over eight billion years, and then it gives the dust back." (Jon Larsen – Abels Tårn, NRK1 Radio)
