A powerful telescope has captured the rainbow-colored remains of an ancient star birth.
Astro**mers in **rthern Chile gathered images of an explosive beginning in the Orion Molecular Cloud 1 (OMC-1), an active star factory that lies about 1,500 light-years from Earth, just behind the Orion Nebula.

The siblings latched onto each other gravitationally and gradually drew closer, until eventually, they either grazed each other or collided, astro**mers said in a paper (https://public.nrao.edu/news/image-release-alma-captures-explosive-star-birth/) published last week in the Astrophysical Journal.* Read more...
