Smith’s Cloud is a large few × 106 Solar Mass cloud which will impact the Milk Way disk in about 35 Million Years (Lockman et al., 2008). Green Bank Telescope OH observations indicate that there are no molecules present in Smith’s Cloud, and thus there is no active ongoing chemistry in Smith’s Cloud.
