By studying it with the IRAM 30-meter radio telescope in Spain, Lada's team found the signatures of both infalling and outflowing material at different locations across the face of the cloud. The complex pattern of motions cannot be explained by simple rotation, collapse, or expansion. Instead, the outer layers of Barnard 68 must be pulsating like a wiggling bowl of Jello.
