At NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope captured the birth of a new star, FS Tau B.

It was discovered thanks to jets of light emerging from a cloud of dust and gas, writes Space.com.

First, “Hubble” took a picture star system FS Tau, which is located 450 light years from Earth.

The image shows jets emerging from the cocoon of the newly formed star, cutting through the gas and dust of the luminous nebula.

Examining the photo near the right edge, astronomers they found a new star on it – FS Tau B. Earlier, they discovered a star inside the image FS Tau A.

According to scientists, both objects are surrounded by illuminated gas and dust – remnants of matter resulting from decay “gave birth” these stars

The image also shows that FS Tau B is partially obscured by a dark vertical dust lane.

It is believed to be the edge of a cluster of gas and dust called the protoplanetary disk. Over time, it will unite and form planets.

FS Tau B and stars like it glow because of the heat released by the disintegration of the dust cloud that gave birth to them, scientists say.

Scientists add that after FS Tau B exits the protostar phase, it will become a stellar object, such as the Sun.

The FS Tau star system is said to be about 2.8 million years old, making it young in cosmic terms.
