Look profoundly into this glowing reddened cloud drifting beyond the edges of our galaxy . reasonably eldritch , correct ? The weirdest matter of all , though , is what it ’s been hiding .
The ESO just releasedthis new image of a bank of red cloud ( RCW 106 ) 12,000 light-headed years away that stargazer finally managed to get a good look at . The substantial find , say researchers , is n’t really in the cloud itself — it ’s what the clouds are hiding : Giant stars ( several times the size of our own sun ) that only forge behind incredibly thick-skulled cloud in nebulas .
The clouds are so thick that despite the sizing and brightness of the stars , all we can see is their freshness through the haze . Beyond the difficultness in seeing them , these gargantuan O - case star are so rarefied ( literally 1 in 3 million ) and short - lived , that researchers are still confused about how something that magnanimous manages to carry together . Having substantiate that O - type whiz are behind RCW 106 ’s red gleam , though , investigator desire to get a small safe idea of what ’s going on with these unearthly stars .
