NASA shares an image of the 'Baby Stars' cluster as 'Space Butterfly'
NASA shares an image of the ‘Baby Stars’ cluster and it says the information of stars results in the destruction of the very clouds that help create them.
Highlights
- Space Agency NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope clicked a cluster of baby stars
- Space Agency said the image is a “beautiful space butterfly”
- The image reveals the image has Red Clouds of gas in space

The formation of stars in space shows an image formation like a butterfly. NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has captured a grand view while exploring patches of the sky. The image posted by NASA on its Instagram account shows an infrared image captured by NASA’s Telescope, it also includes a cosmic cloud that resembles a butterfly.
The actual image is the cluster of baby stars instead of butterflies, so don’t be fooled. The image is a nebula of new stars. When we will further investigate the reason behind such formation involves, the image shows huge red clouds of gas and dust where new stars may form. Such clouds are the formation of giant bubbles of hot, interstellar gas that are emanating from the hottest and most massive stars.
The image shared by the agency not only treats the eyes but also represents the process that takes place in the nebula. NASA writes in its post “Besides being beautiful, this nebula demonstrates how the formation of stars results in the destruction of the very clouds that helped create them.”
Agency further writes in its post “Insight giant clouds of gas and dust in space, the force of gravity pulls material together into dense clumps. Sometimes these clumps reach a critical density that allows stars to form their cores.”
NASA reveal “In fact, the material that forms this nebula’s wings was ejected from a dense cluster of the stars that lies between them.”
