Hubble detects eruption in ‘stellar volcano’ system

The Hubble Telescope has captured a stellar explosion in the R ​​Aquarii system, 700 light-years from Earth, showing a powerful ejection of plasma.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a spectacular explosion in the binary star system R Aquarii, located 700 light-years from Earth.

In this system, two stars interact: an aging red giant, 400 times more massive than the Sun, and a white dwarf, a star in the final stages of its development.

The white dwarf gradually attracts hydrogen from its neighbor gravitationally, and when the accumulated amount reaches a critical limit, a nuclear explosion occurs. In this process, the plasma is ejected into space at a speed of more than 1.6 km/h, creating a spectacular phenomenon similar to a broken sprinkler. This clearly shows the redistribution of nuclear energy in the Universe.

“Swirling stellar streams make this region look like a broken lawn sprinkler. It clearly shows how the Universe redistributes the products of nuclear energy that form deep inside the stars and fly back into space, ” said NASA.

It was previously reported that ESA presented the first images from the Euclid space mission, which aims to create the largest 3D map of the Universe.
