Hubble Captures Young Stars Changing Their Environments

This artist’s illustration shows flares on a red star that is only about a tenth the mass of the Sun. The planet on the left in the background has abundant greenhouse gases, giving a cloudy atmosphere. A recent study has been made of a nearby star similar to the one depicted here. The study suggests that the warming effects of the greenhouse gases in any planet located in the outer regions of the habitable zone are required to allow life to flourish. Any planets located closer to the star likely receive too much high energy radiation from the star for life to flourish.

A close view of the central area of a dwarf galaxy. A huge number of stars fill the whole galaxy as tiny glowing points. They are brightest around the galaxy’s shining core. Thick clouds of gas and dust billow out across the scene, curling like moving flames. They glow in warm colours following their location: orange around the galaxy’s core, and around glowing star clusters in the bottom-left, and dark red elsewhere.
