No one would want to be near this wonderful stellar event, since there would most likely be no survivors. But seeing it from afar through the observatories is impressive.. Beauty and chaos come together in a wonderful cluster of nebulae, with stars that interact with each other, generating a brutal universal spectacle.
the geniuses of AstroF.3 They post the impressive image on their Instagram account, along with an explanation of what is happening in this region, located about 1,500 light years away from Earth.
It is a cluster of galaxies that generates an explosion in the form of jets, arcs and shocks, in an area close to NGC 1999. They explain that it is about two degrees south of the Orion Nebula.
The images show a stunning color palette. Each one has an explanation for its chemical element or universal event, which the mentioned site explains perfectly.
“These interactions create luminous shock waves called Herbig-Haro. The arch to the right of the center is cataloged as HH 222, also called the Cascade Nebula, below the waterfall, with a typical cone shape is HH 401″ they say on the first part of the image.
“And the bright blue nebula below that to the left is NGC 1999, a dusty cloud that reflects light from an embedded variable star,” they added to their detailed explanation.
The conglomerate of events that are collected in this same image occurs in the expansion of a radius that measures approximately 30 light years.
Astronomically speaking they are close, about 1500 light years away, but impossible to reach with the technology we know today.
