Hubble Looks at Beautiful Star-Forming Cloud astronomy space science
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken a picture of the Chamaeleon Cloud I, part of a large star-forming region called theThis Hubble image of Chamaeleon Cloud I is a composite of separate exposures acquired by Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 , and the VISTA InfraRed CAMera on ESO’s 4.1-m Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy .

“The image reveals dusty-dark clouds where stars are forming, dazzling reflection nebulae glowing by the light of bright-blue young stars, and radiant knots called Herbig-Haro objects,” Hubble astronomers said. “The cross-like spikes around bright stars in the image occur when light waves from a very bright point source bend around Hubble’s cross-shaped struts that support the telescope’s secondary mirror.”
The astronomers studied the Chamaeleon Cloud I as part of a search for extremely dim, low-mass brown dwarfs.
