Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope has attracted the attention of science enthusiasts with the images it has taken. However, the Hubble Space Telescope, which was on duty before that, continues its duty without slowing down. The Hubble Space Telescope is attracting attention with a new nebula it has recently imaged. Here are the details about the new cloud!
Hubble Space Telescope captures new image of nebula named HH 505
NASA shared a new image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope with its share on Twitter. The new cloud captured by the telescope, named HH 505, surrounds the Herbig-Harbo object in the constellation Orion. This image, which attracts people’s attention with its colors, was captured by astronomers. This nebula in Orion shows part of the Orion Nebula, one of the closest active star forming regions to Earth.

The image includes colored areas around the Herbig-Haro object HH 505. Such structures are a product of the activity of newborn stars surrounded by protoplanetary disks. In some cases, their interaction with matter in the disk can lead to the formation of jets of ionized gas.
In the case of HH 505, these emissions come from star IX Ori, about 1,000 light-years from Earth, on the outskirts of the Orion Nebula. Also, the nebula’s proximity to Earth makes it one of the most viewed areas of the night sky.
Herbig-Hero objects are a very short-term phenomenon by astronomical standards. In just a few tens of thousands of years, they are completely dispersed in interstellar space. At the same time, the image of the HH 505 was taken with the ACS camera installed on Hubble. The image is also part of a project aimed at creating the most detailed mosaic of the Orion Nebula.
The Hubble Space Telescope cloud image will be of great use to astronomers. This image will reveal previously unknown material flows and help astronomers understand the processes that accompany the formation of new stars.
