Crystal rain appears

For the first time, the Spitzer telescope of the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) discovered a crystal rain on a newly formed star.

Made of forsterite, these crystal particles belong to the silicate mineral family , which can be found everywhere, from periodic gemstones, on blue sand beaches in Hawaii, or distant galaxies.

However, astronomers are still debating how the crystal particles get into this newly formed star.'It is possible that these crystal particles are heated on the surface of a newly formed star named HOPS-68, then swept away by clouds of lower temperature and falling with a sparkling ', Tom Megeath at the University of Toledo said.

The discovery of crystal particles on the flying clouds on emerging stars makes scientists very surprised because the temperatures on these clouds are only -170 degrees Celsius.

The discovery may also explain why comets, formed in the cold outer regions of the solar system, also contain similar crystals.
