NASA's Hubble Telescope captures 'fierce Tarantula Nebula', stellar picture goes viral

Hindustan Times  

NASA often shares numerous kinds of space-related posts that never fail to capture the interest of many people. Recently, the space agency posted a picture of the Tarantula Nebula that has stunned people. The "Hubble telescope was able to obtain stellar data in ultraviolet light which can only be viewed from space to help astronomers in their research for decades to come." First, "the super-hot massive, blue stars are a million times brighter than the Sun and have a fierce glow in ultraviolet light which can be easily detected by Hubble. ULLYSES targeted these blue stars in nearby galaxies because they were common in the early universe.⁣" They also added, "The young stars less massive than our Sun, in their formative years, unleashed high energy radiation and blasts of ultraviolet light and X-rays.
