CosmiC Weird
Jakarta, Photos from the spiral of cosmic outer space taken by Hubble Space Telescope. Scientists now have the answer to the strange phenomenon. Photo cosmic circular released this week by the Hubble science team that shows "one of the most perfect geometric shapes in space," according to the Hubble scientists said in a statement.
It showed an unusual praplanet nebula IRAS 23166 1655 is called the veil of dust that forms around LL Pegasi, a star in the constellation Pegasus.
Despite its name planetary nebula has nothing to do but with the planet. It obtained the name of an object such as its small size compared to stars in general.
What makes it stand out are the Hubble images weirdness, thin spiral pattern around the star with a regularity that is not unexpected, the researchers said.
That pattern shows the origin of the nebula, consisting of dust and gas shot out at speeds of more than 50,000.
The time it takes to make each part of the spiral was around 800 years, astronomers said.
Hubble Space Telescope observed the formation of cosmic spiral a few years ago. European Space Agency images posted to the site on Monday as the Hubble telescope image of choice.
