NASA found 'space gem', Hubble telescope captured the picture

NASA scientists keep surprising the world with their research from time to time. NASA also keeps sharing pictures of the beauty of the moon from space through its social media handles. Recently, a shining gem has been seen in space, whose pictures have been captured by the American space agency NASA. A picture of this gem has also been shared by the space agency which shares pictures of undiscovered parts of space.

NASA shared some pictures of 'cosmic jewellery' located 1,50,100 light years away from Earth. Its beauty can be seen in these pictures. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, orbiting the Earth, has captured pictures of 'cosmic jewellery' and sent them back to Earth. This object present in space has been named Necklace Nebula.

The American space agency shared this post on Instagram on March 13. Since being posted, it has received about 55 thousand likes, while hundreds of people have also commented.

Sharing the image, NASA captioned its post, “It was created by a pair of Sun-like stars that were millions of years old and orbiting close to each other.”

One of the co-rotating stars absorbs the smaller star. But the smaller star continued to orbit inside its larger star, creating the Necklace Nebula. NASA further explained, “The radius continued to increase due to the rotation of the smaller star inside the larger star. “Dense clumps of gas also began to move out and take a spherical shape, creating a dazzling pearl-like nebula.”

The US space agency further said, “A small, bright green region of gas in the bright universe is surrounded by a ring, concentrated in clusters of light that resemble a necklace.” NASA said the pressure of interstellar gas can dramatically affect star formation in such galaxies.
