Amazing WISE Telescope images reveal runaway stars and cosmic jellyfish

This is the Flaming Star Nebula , a gigantic nebula 1,500 light - years forth with the blazing runaway asterisk AE Aurigae at its centre . This is just one of the amazing new images revealed by NASA ’s powerful infrared telescope .

AE Aurigae likely began living in the configuration of Orion , but a collision with a binary star system some 2.5 million years ago send off it aviate off into the Brobdingnagian stretch of space . It ’s now the bright middle of the Flaming Star Nebula , which take its name from the fact that AE Aurigae is so hopeful that it looks like ablaze . you may see the full image of the nebula in the gallery below , as well as three other amazing newfangled images from NASA ’s wide-eyed - field Infrared Survey Explorer , which has just completed its first twelvemonth of service .

There ’s the Jellyfish Nebula , which takes it name from the familiar form created by an exploding supernova some 5,000 to 10,000 years ago . The explosion heated up circumvent throttle and rubble , forming a case of heated atom around the end of the star . Then there ’s the Orion Molecular Cloud , a Brobdingnagian collection of three nebulae that embrace the Flame Nebula , Horsehead Nebula , and NGC 2023 . This huge cloud , also located about 1,500 lightsome - years forth , takes up an expanse of sky equal to three full moon .

Finally , there ’s the nebula IC 2944 , which is also live as both Lambda Centauri and , rather awesomely , the Running Chicken Nebula . It ’s quite a bit further out , about 5,800 light - years off . It ’s home to a Brobdingnagian raw star cluster stick out some 8 million years ago , and the green annulus at the shopping center of the image is over 77 faint - years across .
