Stars are born in dense clouds of dust and gas called, adorably enough, stellarnurseries. Now, researchers have created an atlas of five of these regions.
Stars are born in dense clouds of dust and gas called, adorably enough, stellar nurseries. These nurseries can be vast, spreading over 1,000 light-years across, and can produce thousands of baby stars. In order to study these busy, exciting regions, astronomers have put together thousands of images to create mosaics of five nearby nurseries, producing an atlas of star birth.
The images were collated as part of the VISIONS project, or VISTA Star Formation Atlas, which looked in the infrared range to see the structures of these vast clouds. “The dust obscures these young stars from our view, making them virtually invisible to our eyes,” said Alena Rottensteiner of the University of Vienna in a statement. “Only at infrared wavelengths can we look deep into these clouds, studying the stars in the making.
