Orion Nebula, the cradle is full of disturbance

The Orion Nebula is a place that forms stars quite close to Earth - with a distance of 1,500 light - so astrophysicists can study the birth of stars.

The Hubble telescope has once again been mobilized to capture a very detailed image of the nebula, allowing researchers to see stars they cannot observe in visible light.

In the tumultuous world of the Orion Nebula, one can distinguish the columns of gas and dust that cover the newly born stars, young, huge and very hot stars with radiation beams that make up the perimeter. of the nebula.

Thanks to the new images of the Orion nebula, the researchers were able to see in the spectrum of light that brown dwarfs were stars that were not material enough to light.

Researcher Massimo Robberto of ESA and the Sky Science Academy (STSCI) in Baltimore explained that the goal of the new Hubble telescope research is to calculate the mass of young stars. This and the statistics of the stars are forming. This study was presented at a conference of the American Astronomical Society.
