NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope observed the star-forming region Lupus 3, capturing a ghostly landscape of swirling gas and dark dust clouds located 500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius. The image reveals “T Tauri stars”—young, variable stars actively forming through gravitational contraction. These stars, typically less than 10 million years old, are in a crucial stage where gas and dust dissipate via radiation and stellar winds. Hubble’s observation of these stellar objects helps astronomers better understand the complex processes involved in the birth of stars.
