Astronomers have succeeded in observing the birth of a double star, through a cloud of wind and stellar gas in which protostars are formed.
According to NASA, the camera of the James Webb Space Telescope, which is the largest currently, conducted a detailed examination of the cloud within which newborn stars are forming.
Harrow is the name of a nebula that forms when stellar winds or streams of gas emitted from newborn stars collide at great speed with the gas and dust surrounding the birthplace of young stars.
It is noteworthy that the celestial body Herbig Haro 797 (HH 797) is located near the eastern edge of the Perseus cloud.
The infrared camera made it possible to see what was happening inside the cloud. It can also capture molecules that emit infrared light, including molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and show the structure of the flows.
This is not the first time that the celestial body HH 797 has been observed, but after studying the photographs, scientists have now come to the conclusion that they have recorded the birth of not one star, but two stars at the same time, because the streams of particles emanating from them are almost parallel, but they fly at different speeds. This is what previously puzzled researchers.
