   There are even cosmic clouds in outer space, like the giant alcohol cloud in W3(OH), a very bright, compact HII region within the W3 complex, an enormous stellar nursery.

3. Great Rift (astronomy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Rift_(astronomy)

   The Great Rift covers one third of the Milky Way, and is flanked by strips of numerous stars, such as the Cygnus Star Cloud. [2] West of the Cepheus Clouds, the Funnel cloud/Le Gentil 3 and the bordering North America Nebula, the Great Rift starts with the Northern Coalsack at the constellation of Cygnus, where it is known as the Cygnus Rift.

4. Galaxy filament - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_filament

   In cosmology, galaxy filaments are the largest known structures in the universe, consisting of walls of galactic superclusters.These massive, thread-like formations can commonly reach 50 to 80 megaparsecs (160 to 260 megalight-years)—with the largest found to date being the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall at around 3 gigaparsecs (9.8 Gly) in length—and form the boundaries between voids ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstellar_cloud

   An interstellar cloud is generally an accumulation of gas, plasma, and dust in our and other galaxies. But differently, an interstellar cloud is a denser-than-average region of the interstellar medium , the matter and radiation that exists in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

   The process by which supermassive black holes form is poorly understood, but one theory suggests it happens when massive cosmic clouds collapse. Stellar black holes form when massive stars die.

8. Lyman-alpha blob 1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman-alpha_blob_1

   Lyman-alpha blob 1 (LAB-1) is a giant cosmic cloud of gas located in the constellation of Aquarius, approximately 11.5 billion light-years from Earth with a redshift (z) of 3.09. It was discovered unexpectedly in 2000 by Charles Steidel and colleagues, [ 2 ] who were surveying for high- redshift galaxies using the 200 inch (5.08 m) Hale ...

9. Cosmic dust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_dust

   One large storage facility for cosmic dust exists at the NASA Houston JSC. Infrared light can penetrate cosmic dust clouds, allowing us to peer into regions of star formation and the centers of galaxies. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope was the largest infrared space telescope, before the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.
