FRANCE: Astronomers observed formation of massive star, called W75N(B)-VLA 2, over the period of 18 years.
Pair of images of a young star, made 18 years apart, has revealed a dramatic difference that is providing astronomers with a unique, “real-time’ look at how massive stars develop in the earliest stages of their formation.
The astronomers used the National Science Foundation’s Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to study a massive young star, which was some 4200 light-years from Earth. They compared an image made in 2014 with an earlier VLA image from 1996.
The scientists believed that the young star was forming in a dense, gaseous environment, and was surrounded by a doughnut-shaped, dusty torus.
