A very rare and strangely bright explosion has been captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. The phenomenon, called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT), is known to astronomers, but it was identified in a place where it was not expected, far from any galaxy. This is another photo of the LFBOT and reveals that scientists do not know this phenomenon so well as much as they thought. Since its discovery in 2018, few events of this type have been recorded, but it is known to be one of the brightest optical records known in the universe. This spectacular photograph shows a region called G35.2-0.7N, a place known for being the birthplace of billions of stars. A curiosity is that the stars formed here are so massive and dense, that they will end their lives as destructive supernovaeWORTH YOUR CLICK: To avoid contamination, NASA will study samples from the asteroid Bennu in a safe roomThe James Webb Space Telescope observed the Orion Nebula and the Cluster of the Trapezium and took photos using different wavelengths. In this one it is possible to see, in infrared light, massive and young stars, in addition to the gas disks that surround them. In this other photo, taken with a shorter wavelength, the gas, dust and molecules of the nebula are revealed with more definition, not giving so much focus to the stars present CONTINUE HERE: Artificial intelligence shows what cities will be like in almost 30 years
