Summary
[edit]DescriptionStar-Birth Clouds in M16- Stellar "Eggs" Emerge from Molecular Cloud (1995-44-353).tiff |
English: This eerie, dark structure, resembling an imaginary sea serpent's head, is a column of cool molecular hydrogen gas (two atoms of hydrogen in each molecule) and dust that is an incubator for new stars. The stars are embedded inside finger-like protrusions extending from the top of the nebula. Each "fingertip" is somewhat larger than our own solar system. |
