Exactly a year ago, the BBC news station reported the discovery of a giant star with a mass would be far greater than the Sun in the solar system.
Embryos that were grown in a bubble of gas. Images are recorded by the embryonic star Herschel telescope owned by the European Space Agency (ESA).
According to the BBC, the image of gas bubbles, called RCW 120 was released a few days before the first anniversary of the launch of the Herschel telescope into orbit. ESA Herschel telescope launched on 14 May 2009.
Herschel's infrared detector capable of seeing low-temperature material that could give birth to stars. Images such as RCW 120 will help explain how the process of a massive star is formed.
Candidates for giant stars in the telescope image looks like a white blob on the bottom edge of the bubble. Embryo was estimated to be grown into one of the biggest stars and most bright on hundreds of thousands of galaxies in the coming year.
Embryos already has a mass about eight to ten times greater than the mass of the sun, and surrounded by so much material.
When more gas and dust falling on the star, the object that has the potential to become one giant object in the Milky Way, and will affect the surrounding environment.
"This is a big star that controls the chemical evolution and dynamics of galaxies," said Herschel scientist, Dr. Annie Zavagno, from the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille.
"This is a big star that created heavy elements like iron and these elements will be in interstellar space. And because of massive stars end their lives with a supernova explosion, they also inject enormous energy into the galaxy," continued Zavagno.
Herschel has a unique capability that is able to see the physical processes that can not be done other telescopes. Hubble Telescope for example, can not see in detail as it is generated Herschel
