NASA’s Hubble Dazzles With Young Stars in Trifid Nebula
Fly” through the Hubble Space Telescope’s view of the Trifid Nebula. The video “floats” over the ridges of gas and dust and moves up toward Herbig-Haro 399, at the top of a brown cloud that resembles a head with horns.
The thinner, irregular line pointing left formed from the ejections of an actively forming star. To its left is a small, faint pillar that resembles a water bear. Much of this pillar’s gas and dust has been blown away, but the densest material at the top persists.
