The birth of a star

On November 17, NASA published a star in its origins, it is a photo taken by the Hubble space telescope where it captures a proto star, which is the name of the phase in which a star is gestating.

Protostars glow from the thermal energy released by the constricting clouds around them and by the accumulation of nearby gas and dust material.

Finally, when enough material accumulates, the core of a proto star heats up and becomes dense enough for nuclear fusion to begin, thus completing its transformation into a star.

The excess gas and dust can become planets, moons, asteroids or comets, the hubble space telescope is an international cooperation project between NASA and the European space agency, since 1990 it has been the great eye of humanity in the cosmos, In a few days (December 22, 2021) the James Webb Space Telescope will be launched, multiplying the capacity of Hubble and will also allow exploring the cosmos in the infrared part of the spectrum.

But there is good news for Hubble why NASA announced a few days ago that it was granting an extension of the contract to the association of universities for research in astronomy in order to follow that the support for Hubble's scientific operations, this means that the The space telescope will remain operational until at least June 30, 2026, offering the most amazing discoveries and images of the cosmos.
