GREAT collected its first THz photons from the M173W star forming cloud April 6, 2011. Superimposed on a near-infrared false-color image measured by the Spitzer Space Telescope are selected spectra of ionized carbon (CII) and warm carbon monoxide (CO). The high spectral resolution of GREAT is used to study the velocity structure across the cloud.April 6, 2011
