Young stars flicker amidst clouds of gas and dust
by PhysOrg staff
Astronomers have spotted young stars in the Orion nebula changing right before their eyes, thanks to the European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Observatory and NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The colorful specks — developing stars strung across the image — are rapidly heating up and cooling down, speaking to the turbulent, rough-and-tumble process of reaching full stellar adulthood.
The rainbow of colors represents different wavelengths of infrared light  captured by both Spitzer and Herschel. Spitzer is designed to see  shorter infrared wavelengths than Herschel. By combining their  observations, astronomers get a more complete picture of star formation.  NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., manages the  Spitzer mission for NASA, and also plays an important role in the  European Space Agency-led Herschel mission…
