The Prawn Nebula is a nursery of stars about 6,000 light-years from Earth. J. Tan (Chalmers University of Technology), Gladys Kober (NASA/Catholic University of America), and NASA are all pictured.
The Hubble Space Telescope has a wonderful view of the Prawn Nebula.
The Prawn Nebula is located 6,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. The material in the clouds of interstellar gas and dust gives life to new stars after a stellar explosion.
IC 4628 is believed to be a massive stellar nursery, where new stars are forming. It is an emission nebula because its gas has been ionized by nearby stars. According to a statement from NASA, that process produces electrons that re-emit the absorbed energy.
There are 15 unforgettable images of stars.
There are some good videos for you.
IC 4628 is incredibly faint to viewers on Earth because the human eye can't detect it. The Hubble telescope can see the structure of the nebula, including bright areas of glowing gas and star formation, because it is in space.
The red swirls of dust and gas seen in the recent Hubble image show the presence of ionized iron.
The recent image was taken using Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 as part of a larger initiative to survey massive and intermediate-size stars that are still in the early stages of development.
According to the NASA statement, theAstronomers used theInfrared sensitivity of Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 to look for hydrogen ionized by ultraviolet light ionized by the protostars, jets from the stars, and other features.
