Scientists first saw the explosion of a newborn star

The explosion occurred in the result of collision of two newborn stars.

Scientists using the ALMA telescope was the first to see the newborn stars blast, which happened in the constellation of Orion.

As reported on the website of the European southern Observatory, the discovery was made in the study feuerwerkerei the flow of the substance remaining after the birth of the group of massive stars.

Stars are born when a gas cloud with a mass hundreds of times larger than our Sun, starts to collapse: to shrink under its own gravity. In the most dense parts of the Contracting cloud light up randomly moving protostar. Over time some of born stars begin to move in the direction of the overall center of gravity, usually associated with a particularly massive protostar. And if the distance between the stars is small, then before they have time to leave their “stellar nursery” between us there are rapid interactions.

About 100 thousand years ago deep in the Molecular cloud of Orion begin to form several protostars. Gravity pulled them with increasing speed until, until 500 years ago, the two of them finally collided. The result of this interaction was a powerful explosion. He was thrown from different directions other nearby protostar and dumped into the environment enormous flows of gas and dust at speeds over 150 kilometers per second. When this cataclysm stood out as much energy as the Sun emits over 10 million years.
