The Hubble Space Telescope used its ‘Wide Field Camera 3’ to capture the picture. ESA has told that this gas came out due to an explosion in a newborn star. Usually such incidents happen in the early stages of the formation of a star. Because of this, the released gas moves forward at supersonic speed. Something similar is visible in the current image as well.
Herbig-Haro objects are formed when a jet of gas in its early stages collides with the material surrounding a star. This collision heats the material, due to which there is a glow.
This is not the first time this Herbig-Haro object has been seen. Hubble captured it in more detail between 1994 and 2007, and in 2015. It is said that this thing is being developed for many years and a lot of important changes are coming in it.
According to ESA’s website, HH34 resides in the Orion Nebula, about 1,250 light-years from Earth. There are incidents of star formation happening here. High-resolution images of HH34 and other jets taken by Hubble will help astronomers understand future observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope.
The Hubble Telescope was launched into space in April 1990. Since then it has captured many great pictures of deep space. Very soon this telescope will be replaced by ‘James Webb Telescope’. It was launched by NASA on 25 December last year. Right now it is setting its instruments in space. It is believed that in the next few months, James Web Telescope will start its work.
