HH 34 Herbig Haro object captured by Hubble Telescope!
Recommended for Secondary Grades
Hey there, little explorers! Have you ever taken a picture of something so far away? Maybe a squirrel in the park? How about a star 1,250 light-years away? No? Well, the Hubble Space Telescope did just that!
Once Upon A Time In Space
So, way, way, WAY back, and I mean more than a thousand light-years away, Hubble took a selfie (okay, not really) with a super young star named HH34. Imagine a baby star just learning how to shine!
The Star’s Fabulous Dress
But this wasn’t just any star. HH34 was wearing a beautiful, glowing dress made of super bright gas. This gas was super speedy! When this gas ran into stuff around the star (kinda like when you accidentally bump into furniture), it would make that stuff glow too! And these glowing things got a fancy name – “Herbig-Haro” objects. Talk about a dazzling outfit!
The Stellar Neighborhood Gossip
Q: What’s the Orion Nebula?
A: If stars had a popular hangout place, it’d be the Orion Nebula. It’s like the hip cafe where stars are born and chill near Earth!
Herbig-Haro: The Drama Queen
Herbig-Haro objects, like HH34, are kinda like the drama queens of space. They change their looks so quickly! Hubble took a picture of HH34 between 1994 and 2007, and then again in 2015. And trust me, it looked fab every time. This drama queen lives in the Orion Nebula, which is like the Hollywood for stars!
Seeking The Space Secrets
Ever played detective? Astronomers, who are like space detectives, love peeping into the Orion Nebula. They’re trying to figure out the mystery of how stars and their pals, the planets, are made. And here’s a fun secret: these astronomers sometimes call the Herbig-Haro objects “tantrums of a baby star.” Imagine a star stomping its feet and saying, “Look at me!”
The Starry Summary
To wrap it all up, the Hubble Space Telescope took some cool pics of a baby star named HH34, who loves to show off its glowing “Herbig-Haro” dress. This star lives in the Orion Nebula, a popular starry hangout spot. And just like us, stars can have their little tantrums too! So, next time you look up at the sky, remember, there’s a whole world of starry drama happening up there!
