Scientific paper

Recent radiowave observations of gaseous nebulas and their interstellar environments are reviewed. Visible and radio maps of nebulas are compared, and the use of radio spectroscopy to indicate that gaseous nebulas belong to much larger systems of gas and dust is examined. The physical nature of nebulas, the thermodynamics of nebula reactions, and the rotation of nebulas are considered. The discussed observations of formaldehyde in the region of space lying in the general direction of the galactic center delineate a vast cloud of neutral molecules that apparently engulfs many nebulas, including M8, M16, M17, and M20.
