Star Formation

Explore the captivating journey of star formation and learn about the intricate process that gives birth to these celestial beauties. Uncover the secrets of the universe and witness the awe-inspiring creation of stars.
Some 60 million light-years away in the southerlyconstellation Corvus, two large galaxies are colliding. Stars in the two galaxies, cataloged as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, very rarely collide in the course of the ponderous cataclysm that lasts for hundreds of millions of years. But the galaxies' large clouds of molecular gas and dust often do, triggering furious episodesof star formation near the center of the cosmic wreckage Hubble Images, Orion Nebula, Hubble Pictures, Helix Nebula, Carina Nebula, Whirlpool Galaxy, Star Formation, Andromeda Galaxy, Hubble Space

Star, any massive self-luminous celestial body of gas that shines by radiation derived from its internal energy sources. This article describes the properties and evolution of individual stars. Included in the discussion are the sizes, energetics, temperatures, masses, and chemical compositions of stars.

WASTED on Instagram: "The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) collided gravitationally, forming a vast heart-like shape visible in space.   Located 60 million light years away, they have been merging for a billion years, triggering star formation through colliding interstellar gases.   Their iconic antennae structures and cosmic dance are expected to continue for another billion years."
