The image, which was captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the smoking gun of a newborn star. The blue clusters in the picture are the Herbig–Haro objects numbered 7 to 11 (HH 7–11), and they’re located within NGC 1333, a reflection nebula full of dust and gas found roughly 1,000 light-years away from our planetHerbig-Haro objects are transient phenomena located near newborn stars. They travel away from the star that created them at a speed up to 150,000 miles per hour and vanishes into the cosmos within a few tens of thousands of years.
According to NASA, the young star that is the source of these Herbig-Haro objects is called SVS 13, and in the image, the bright blue clusters are moving away from SVS 13 toward the upper left side. The distance between HH 7 and SVS 13 is roughly 20,000 times the distance between the sun and Earth.
Herbig-Haro objects are developed by a complex process: Jets of ionized gas are thrown out by a young star and they bang into nearby clouds of dust and gas at high speeds, causing these eerie, bright blue clusters to form deep in the cosmos.
