Similar To Lightsaber, NASA Shares Herbig-Haro 211 Portraits That Come Out Of Small Stars

JAKARTA - The United States Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) recently shared findings from the James Webb Space Telescope. The findings were commented on by Dailymail as light-like, a fictional weapon from the Star Wars film.

The portrait shared by Nasa is the object of Herbig-Haro (HH) 211, a luminous region of the nebularity around a newborn star. This light is formed because some of the gas that the emitting star collides with the clouds of gas and dust.

Basically, this HH is not visible in images taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The existence of this HH has only been detected due to the flux of dust and gas flowing on both sides of the star. This flux suggests that the star is developing.

Currently, the small star only has a mass of 8 percent of the sun. This star is expected to be exactly the size of the sun in the next few million years.

Previously, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope had never captured details of a bipolar jet exploding from a protostar, a baby star. The results of this catch will also be carried out an extensive analysis to find out exactly how long HH 211 is.

So far, researchers have known that most of the HH 211 compounds are molecules that include carbon monoxide, silicon monoxide, and hydrogen molecules. The results of this study differ much from the predictions of the researchers. They estimate HH 211 consists of atoms and individual ions such as bipolar jets.

In addition to the discovery of its compounds, researchers also stated that the HH 211 gas and dust were much slower than the evolved protostars. Therefore, it is concluded that HH 211 does not have enough energy to decompose molecules into atoms and ions.
