Talk:Bok globule

Barnard 68 is a Bok Globule

3K?
I thought cosmic rays didn't allow clouds to reach 3K. Shouldn't this real ~8K instead?

Magnetic fields can protect objects from cosmic rays allowing some parts of the universe to become heated only by the CMB roughly 3 K. You would expect to find magnetic fields all around a star forming region. Without a citation though, it should be labelled as an estimate and I would just average to 10K.

Moving ¶ from H II region
It is now thought that a typical Bok globule contains about 10 solar masses of material in a region about a light-year or so across, and that Bok globules most commonly result in the formation of double or multiple star systems.{{s|
