Fine Art Print : Stellar formation
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Stellar formation
Star formation. Image 1 of 2. Artwork of a cloud of gas and dust coalescing during the formation of a star. Stars form when gas clouds contract under their own gravity. The gas increases in density and temperature as it contracts, eventually becoming hot enough for nuclear reactions to start. The initial ignition of a new star then blows away much of the surrounding material. Gas clouds rotate as they contract, which flattens the material into a disc. In the surrounding disc of gas and dust, planets and other bodies can form. For an image of this gas cloud at the ignition of a new star, see R590/101

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing process of stellar formation, showcasing the birth of a star amidst a swirling cloud of gas and dust. As gravity takes hold, this celestial spectacle unfolds as the gas cloud begins to coalesce, gradually increasing in density and temperature. The immense pressure eventually triggers nuclear reactions within the core, marking the ignition of a new star. The sheer power unleashed during this cosmic event is evident as it blows away surrounding material, leaving behind only remnants of its turbulent beginnings. This image also reveals another fascinating phenomenon - as the gas cloud contracts under its own gravity, it starts rotating and flattening into a disc shape. Within this spinning disk lies an incredible potential for planetary bodies to form. The intricate dance between gravitational forces and swirling matter creates an awe-inspiring vortex that sets in motion the genesis of stars and planets alike. It is within these dusty realms that embryonic worlds take shape through accretion - particles coming together to form larger bodies. This stunning artwork from Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into our universe's profound evolutionary processes; reminding us that even in seemingly empty spaces lie countless wonders waiting to be discovered.
