Mystery Of Missing Hydrogen: Apparent Absence From Distant Galaxies Puzzles Astronomers
ScienceDaily (Nov. 24, 2008) — Something vital is missing in the far distant reaches of the universe: hydrogen — the raw material for stars, planets and possible life. The discovery of its apparent absence from distant galaxies by a team of Australian astronomers is puzzling because hydrogen gas is the most common constituent of normal matter in the universe. If anything, hydrogen was expected to be more abundant so early in the life of the universe because it had not yet been consumed by the formation of all the stars and galaxies we know today.
