Hello
everyone,
look at
this picture...space bubbles! Nasa Spitzer Space Telescope captured this image
of burning, bubbling star formation in
the Cat's Paw Nebula. As gas and dust compress to form stars, the gas around
these areas heats up and pressurizes, giving them the appearance of bubbles. Radiation
from the hot stars also causes these bubbles to glow brightly. Spitzer is an
infrared telescope which can help scientists to see through thick clouds of gas
and dust in ways our eyes cannot. What do you think about it? What's your
favorite nebula? Tell us in the comments.
