Cloudy with a chance of star-formation ✨⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Nestled a little over 1,000 light-years away in the Orion nebula, a celestial cloudscape surrounds a Herbig-Haro object – bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars which form when narrow jets of ionized gas collide stellar clouds and dust.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Astronomers used @NASAHubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to observe the high-energy outflows of radiation emanating from the star. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The Orion Nebula is a massive region of dust and gas with thousands of stars forming, and because it is closest region of massive star formation to Earth, it is one of the most studied by scientists. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Image Description: Swirling clouds of blue, red, purple, yellow, and grey give way to several stars that shine bright. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Credit: NASA, @EuropeanSpaceAgency/Hubble, J.
