According to the British newspaper ‘Daily Mail’, the image taken from the observatory earlier this year shows the region known as the ‘Cob Nebula’, which is similar to a standing mythical object.
This region is known as the “cob nebula”; Composed of hydrogen, it is part of a region called NGC 2264, first discovered by astronomer William Herschel in the late 18th century.
And the major formation process occurs at this point, as newly formed, bright blue stars send off solar winds and strong ultraviolet radiation, which detonate surrounding materials.
The observatory explains that the nebula takes on its longitudinal shape as gas and dust drift away from nascent stars, and this process is what produces the so-called corncob nebula.
Astronomers have previously shown a lot of information about the nebula, but the recent image presented a stunning picture.
The observatory released an image of the nebula to mark the 60th anniversary of its launch on astronomical missions.
On 5 October 1962, five countries signed an agreement to set up the observatory, while today it has the support of 16 member states, along with other strategic partners.
