Tantrum-throwing young stars caught surrounding high-energy gamma rays for the first time. The discovery is the first evidence that low-mass T.Tauri stars, which are less than 10 million years old, can radiate gamma radiation Astronomers have witnessed young stars, sun-like young stars exploding out high-energy gamma radiation for the first time. The observation of…
European Space Agency officials call the picture by the NASA Hubble Space Telescope a “ghostly assemblage of stars.” NASA Hubble Space Telescope captures the ghostly assemblage of stars A distant galaxy sparkles from the soft glow from the sky of its many tiny stars in a recent photo from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope….
