NASA captures the image of bright blue objects in the space

NASA has just posted a photo of bright blue objects in space. It's a frightening vision of the cosmos.

The image, which was captured by NASA / ESA's Hubble Space Telescope, shows the "smoking gun" of a newborn star. The blue clusters in the photo are the Herbig – Haro objects numbered 7 to 11 (HH 7 to 11), and they are located in NGC 1333, a reflection-filled nebula full of dust and gas found about 1000 light-years away. of our planet. .

Herbig-Haro objects are transient phenomena located near newborn stars. They move away from the star that created them at a speed of up to 150,000 kilometers at the time and disappear into the cosmos in a few tens of thousands of years.

According to NASA, the young star at the origin of these Herbig-Haro objects calls SVS 13 and, in the picture, the bright blue clusters move away from SVS 13 to the upper left side. The distance between HH 7 and SVS 13 is about 20,000 times the distance between the sun and the Earth.

Herbig-Haro objects are developed through a complex process: jets of ionized gas are thrown by a young star and strike at high speed in the surrounding dust and gas clouds, causing the formation of bright blue clusters and strange in the cosmos.
