- 8 years ago
The Hubble Space Telescope recently captured an awe-inspiring image of two stars encircled by dust.
The Hubble Space Telescope has returned an image that's almost heavenly in appearance.
Two stars glimmer and sparkle, each throwing off cross-shaped diffraction spikes as a halo-like ring of dust surrounds them both.
The dust is the hallmark of a young star system; such particles abound in places like this.
The system is called DI Cha and it contains two sets of binary stars—four in total—though only a couple are visible in the picture.
The image was taken inside the Chamaeleon I dark cloud—part of a broader star-forming area of the cosmos called the Chamaeleon Complex.
