Space Telescope spots ‘dazzling diamonds’ in space

According to ESA/NASA Hubble Space Telescope, a cluster of young, super-hot stars have been posing for a picture, threatening to grasp attention away from the planets and other astronomical wonders.

The Trumpler 14 star cluster stars are among the most luminous in the galaxy and their unusually hot temperatures and close proximity lighten ups space to a degree hardly ever seen. The Hubble Space Telescope photo release has named the stars, ‘dazzling diamonds’.

The press released said that the stars have been making a large impact on their environment, and are literally making waves.

The Trumpler 14 star cluster is the Carina Nebula’s youngest one. As per the estimations the cluster is 500,000 years old. The Pheiades cluster, in comparison to it, present in the constellation Taurus, is 115 million years old. The stars are young but even then are only a few million years away from the expiration dates.

According to the NASA press release, the young, blue-white stars have been paying a price for their luminosity, burning via their hydrogen ‘ferociously’. It will result into dramatic star deaths, completing with supernovae.

The stars have a quite shorter lifespan as compared to the sun, which is likely to last billions of years. The Trumpler 14 stars will get some help from the supernovae in completing a cycle of life they have already begun.

The Hubble press release suggested that the super-hot stars have been throwing out high-speed particles from their surfaces. It mentioned that the particles send powerful winds throughout the space which collide with close by objects and materials, resulting into superheated gas, extreme bursts of x-rays, and holes torn in close by gas and dust clouds.

As per the NASA press release, the supernovae even tears larger cavities, kicking off the creation process of fresh now stars.
