The explosion of cosmic light was struck by two young stars

Astronomers of the ALMA Observatory, Chile, recorded brilliant moments like fireworks when the two stars collided 500 years ago, creating a giant explosion.

The collision of the two stars of the Orion constellation creates a powerful explosion, launching dust and gas into the universe at speeds of over 150km / sec, and releasing energy equivalent to the solar radiated for 10 million years, according to Sun.

Two young protostars formed more than 100,000 years ago in Orion Molecular Cloud 1 (OCM-1) , a dense star nursery about 1,500 light-years from Earth. Gravity holds two parallel stars but also causes them to gradually approach each other before colliding.

The remains of this massive explosion are still visible today from Earth, giving astronomers more information about the relationship between stars.

According to the researchers, such explosions are usually not lasting, with remnants only lasting for a few centuries.
