6 Mesmerising images of stars shared by NASA

Here are some unseen images of stars shared by American space agency NASA.

Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex: NASA’s James Webb Telescope captured the birth of stars in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex. It is the closest star forming area from our planet. The image features young stars emitting jets that interact with surrounding gas.

Most Distant Star: The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope set a record by observing light from a star formed within the first billion years after the Big Bang, the farthest individual star ever detected.

Omega Centauri: Using over 500 images captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope over two decades, astronomers identified seven fast-moving stars at the center of Omega Centauri, the largest globular cluster, pointing to evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole.

LAWD 37: Hubble used microlensing to measure the mass of LAWD 37, a white dwarf star. This remnant of a spent star, with no active nuclear fusion, glows brilliantly at approximately 100,000 degrees Celsius due to residual heat.

Stellar Cradle: Protostellar object OH 339.88-1.26, located 8,900 light-years away in the constellation Ara, is surrounded by dusty lanes and luminous stars, creating a stunning cosmic scene.

ESO 245-5: This image highlights a star cluster amidst dust, gas, and distant light. Upon closer look, it reveals the galaxy ESO 245-5, situated 15 million light-years away in Phoenix and near the Milky Way.
