A CHRISTMAS TREE FROM THE UNIVERSE? 🎄
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, paired with recent telescope data, unveiled a remarkable cosmic display on Christmas.
“These X-rays are powered by winds flowing from the young, massive stars sprinkled throughout the cluster" NASA shared on Wednesday.
The agency also explained that the extended cloud visible in the Chandra data likely originates from the combined X-ray emissions of thousands of young, low-mass stars within the cluster.
