Discovering how stars begin to form is integral to understanding how our universe, galaxy, and solar system formed. This research focuses on four mid-infrared galactic bubbles, observed with the Q-Band of the Green Bank Telescope. The kinematics and chemistry of molecular clouds may identify star-forming regions where bubbles are intersecting infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). In addition to our targeted observations, un-aimed beam was collected towards the bubbles. Data from this beam will be compared with coincident structures visible in the Spitzer Space Telescope 8 μm infrared data. Line profiles will be used to infer cloud motion and possible infall sites, and tentative results show internal cloud structure, especially in N65.
