For example, the Spitzer infrared astronomers favour a two major arm model because red giant stars (which emit a lot of infrared) are largely confined to the Perseus and Centaurus arms, whereas radio astronomers tend to favour a four major arm model because radio telescopes can detect atomic hydrogen in all four arms.

But if radiation from stars in a neighboring galaxy strikes the disk, it can destroy molecular hydrogen and turn it into atomic hydrogen, which suppresses cooling, keeping the gas too hot to form stars.

The emergence of chemistry had a transformative effect on the universe because of a peculiar property of atomic hydrogen: If you take a big cloud of hydrogen atoms and let it collapse, it gets hotter and hotter until all the bound - up energy keeps it from shrinking any further.
