Republican presidential rivals, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former President Donald Trump are in a war of words, not over the 2024 race but about former President Barack Obama.
The photo, processed in high-resolution near-infrared light, shows Herbig-Haro 46/47 which are located 1,470 light-years away from Earth."The most striking details are the two-sided lobes that fan out from the actively forming central stars, represented in fiery orange. Much of this material was shot out from those stars as they repeatedly ingest and eject the gas and dust that immediately surround them over thousands of years," NASA said in a blog post.
The space agency says the pair of stars will form over millions of years, and with the proximity of the Herbig-Haro 46/47 to Earth, details of the evolution of the two stars can be closely observed by the telescope."When viewed mainly in visible light, it appears almost completely black – only a few background stars peek through.
