Brand New Stars in the Orion Nebula, Seen by Hubble By Nancy_A
that for HH 505, the star IX Ori is responsible for creating the outflows seen here. This star lies on the outskirts of the Orion Nebula around 1,000 light-years from Earth. “The outflows themselves are visible as gracefully curving structures at the top and bottom of this image,” they wrote. “Their interaction with the large-scale flow of gas and dust from the core of the nebula distorts them into sinuous curves.
Our lead image image was captured with Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys , by astronomers studying the properties of outflows and protoplanetary disks. The image shows bright shockwaves formed by the outflows as well as slower moving currents of stellar material.

Brand New Stars in the Orion Nebula, Seen by HubbleThe Orion Nebula is a giant cloud of gas and dust that spans more than 20,000 times the size of our own solar system. It one of the closest active star-forming regions to Earth, and is therefore one of the most observed and photographed objects in the night sky. The venerable Hubble Space Telescope has … Continue reading 'Brand New Stars in the Orion Nebula, Seen by Hubble'
