The Herschel space telescope found the star group 8,000 light-years away

Human knowledge of the universe is limited by devices that discover the space that humans can create. Thanks to the advancement of science and technology, more and more galaxies and distant constellations in the universe have been found by scientists. With the European Space Agency's (ESA) Herschel space telescope being introduced in 2009, scientists say they have just discovered a constellation of 8000 light-years from our earth.

Herschel is currently the largest infrared space telescope today, capable of finding the light of galaxies using infrared technology. Herschel's latest discovery is a group of giant stars in the Little Fox constellation , 8,000 light-years away.

According to NASA, this group of stars has only recently been born, belonging to the constellation Ho Ly OB1 , where "O" and "B" are considered the largest (size) stars that can be born (which human knowledge is known). These stars, though young, burn their fuel much faster than other stars, so they won't last long.

The OB system stars are expected to survive about 2 million years before self-destruct, after they die, they will "eat" the surrounding materials and then join the cycle to create new stars. NASA said these stars are 16 times larger than our Sun, about 100 times heavier and 25,000 - 30,000 times brighter.
