The Hubble Space Telescope recorded the birth of a new star, FS Tau B. It was discovered thanks to jets of light emerging from a cloud of dust and gas. Space reported it.
NASA’s spacecraft spotted a young star emerging from its parent nebula as it zoomed in on the young multistellar system FS Tau. Located 450 light years from Earth, FS Tau is part of the Taurus-Auriga region.
This region of space is a stellar nursery for dark clouds of gas and dust that are home to many newly formed protostars and young stars. Previously, they discovered the star FS Tau A within the cluster.
According to scientists, both objects are covered with glowing gas and dust – remnants of matter that “gave birth” to these stars as a result of decay.
It is believed to be the edge of a collection of gas and dust called the protoplanetary disk. Over time, it will coalesce and form planets.
The scientists added that once FS Tau B exits its protostar phase, it will become a stellar object like the Sun.
It is noted that the FS Tau star system is about 2.8 million years old, making it young by the dimensions of space.
Hubble was previously reported to have photographed the irregular galaxy UGC 5829, which is located at a distance of about 30 million light years from Earth.
