Rotation of galactic objects has been seen in the CMB that could be ascribed to molecular hydrogen clouds with, or without, dust contamination and contamination from other sources. We model the clouds using the canonical ensemble for pure molecular hydrogen, a mixture of hydrogen helium and or dust, in order to constrain the physical parameters of these clouds. Since, the clouds are cold, we justify the use of the canonical ensemble by explicitly calculating the interaction between the hydrogen molecules and the CMB photons and determining the time required for thermal equilibrium to be reached, and show that there is enough time for the equilibrium to be attained.
