What creates these inky molecular clouds? Giant squid?

In comparison, however, these clouds are typically much less dense than Earth's atmosphere.I'd hope so...300 light years of atmosphere if it was! Sign of the times that this has to be said, I guess, the basics aren't taught anymore.

Eta Carinae, the most energetic star in the nebula, was one of the brightest stars in the sky in the 1830s, but then faded dramatically.This blows me away. You have to wonder how many other stars faded or brightened over several thousand years and changed the way humans viewed the night skies. How many constellations have come and gone, or at least changed "dramatically"?

...actually molecular clouds...Oh, I see...clouds with molecules. Are there clouds without molecules? Does this "molecular" nomenclature provide helpful information, or is it just a big word the reporter who wrote this suddenly discovered?
