A collaboration between Nobeyama Radio Observatory and UKIRT has produced high resolution images in CO and H2 of the star forming regions DR21, Orion, and M17. In each case the images in the two species are remarkably similar. This is a striking result, for the H2 traces a very hot component of the interstellar medium, either shocked to temperatures around 2000 K or highly excited by ultraviolet fluorescence.
