Hubble Telescope Observes Young Stars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 in Orion Nebula
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of two young stars, HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, in the Orion Nebula, which is located about 1,300 light-years from Earth. The binary system HOPS 150 glows in bright golden red, while HOPS 153 emits a colorful jet. These stars are still in their early stages of development, feeding from their surrounding dus...

Hubble Telescope Captures Stunning View of Orion Nebula’s Protostars
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of the Orion Nebula, located 1,500 light-years from Earth. The new image highlights protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, which are playing a key role in shaping their environment. These young stars are still in the process of formation, with the nebula's gas and dust feeding their growth. HOPS 15...

Researchers Unveil New Theory on the Formation of Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects
A team of researchers has proposed a new theory explaining the formation of Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs), identified in 2023 in the Orion Nebula. The theory involves photo erosion, where radiation from massive stars strips away mass from stellar cores, shaping JuMBOs into objects with masses comparable to Jupiter. This theory sheds light on...

JWST Discovers Jupiter-Mass Binary Objects in Orion Nebula, Offering New Clues
The James Webb Space Telescope has identified dozens of Jupiter-mass binary objects (JuMBOs) in the Orion Nebula. These enigmatic rogue gas giant pairs orbit each other at distances of 25 to 400 AU. Researchers propose they could be failed stars formed under extreme radiation conditions, ejected planetary systems, or a mix of both. Simulations repl...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Image of Celestial Cloudscape in Orion Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a region of colourful dust and gas clouds encircling an HH 505 or a Herbig-Haro object in the Orion Nebula. Herbig-Haro objects, which are bright regions surrounding young stars, are created when stellar winds or jets of gas emitted by these stars collide violently with neighbouring gas and dust.
