Abstract
Stars twinkle because their light propagates through the atmosphere. The same phenomenon is expected when the light of remote stars crosses a Galactic – disk or halo – refractive medium such as a molecular cloud [1, 5]. We present the promising results of a test performed with the ESO-NTT and the perspectives.
