The official Instagram account of NASA’s Hubble Telescope, on Friday, January 29, shared an image of the nebula ESO 455-10 and netizens were completely enchanted. According to the caption, the ESO 455-10 distributes its elements in the interstellar medium that will help form the next generation of stars. Surprised by its beauty, the netizens considered it ‘Prima Super’.
Star formation
According to the official website, the life of a nebula is ‘chaotic’. The wafer caps of ESO 455-10, previously held tightly together as layers of its central star, give the nebula its unique appearance. They also provide a lot of information about the same. The blog on the official website reads: ‘Seen in a field of stars, the clear asymmetric material arc over the north side of the nebula is a clear sign of interactions between ESO 455-10 and the interstellar medium’.

With the stars appearing in the middle of ESO 455-10, Hubble can see the interaction with the gas and dust from the nebula. Also, the interaction with the surrounding interstellar medium and the light of the star can be seen. Newcomers are often considered to be of cardinal importance in galactic enrichment. This is because they distribute their own elements. The heavier metal elements produced within a star form the next generation of stars after some time.
