摘要：
Interstellar matter consisting of gas and dust shows structures which appear to have self-similar projected shapes, similar to the properties of terrestrial clouds. Moreover, the completely different physics in these interstellar clouds reveals several additional self-similar/fractal aspects which are investigated by extensive astronomical observations, aiming especially at a better understanding of the processes of star formation which take place in interstellar molecular clouds.
