The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has announced the latest image taken by Hubble's glass, the moment a newborn star shines in a cloud of gold gas and dust.
According to Space.com, why IRAS 14568-6304 lies about 2,500 light-years from Earth, can be observed at the Cirnicus complex molecular cloud, one of the most intense star-producing regions.
The new figurative star shines especially because it emits a jet-like tail containing pre-stellar matter, which is a remnant of gas and dust from the original cloud that produced this star.
Stars are formed when a cloud of gas collapses under its gravity attraction to form a hot core.
However, every gas and dust material does not always focus on the star, and the remainder as in the case of IRAS 14568-6304, will in the future form a planet or asteroid.
