14 000 New Stars Detected

NASA scientists have succeeded in detecting image details of the formation of new stars at great distances from Earth. Amazing image was taken with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.

Based on the publication of the Daily Mail, Sunday (10/16/2011), the image shows the Carina Nebula, an area of ​​Sagittarius-Carina arm of the Milky Way, which became the birthplace of new stars. So far, 14,000 stars have been detected in the area within 7500 million light years from Earth.

Once analyzed, the scientists believe that some giant stars that have been destroyed in a supernova explosion. They knew it from the X-ray reduction that occurred in the northern cluster called Trumpler 15.

Detection of a possible six neutron star, the dense core left after a supernova explosion, adding to evidence that supernova activity increased in Carina. Previously, only discovered a new star in Carina.
