Field's stability criterion for this region, expressed in terms of its cooling function, supports a pressure-balanced, two-component model of it. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in this region may be responsible for some of its namesake diffusion absorption bands. Most of its molecules are found in dark (*) clouds, which include GMCs and Bok globules. Absorption and emission of the 21-centimeter line in its neutral portions allows mapping of the rotation curve of the Milky Way. After crossing the heliopause, Voyager 1 is now in this region bey
