A Runaway Star: Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered

Posted by

An enormous star is on the lam, fleeing its home at a quarter of a million miles per hour. The star, 90 times as massive as the Sun, may have traveled 375 light years from its original locale, the giant star cluster R136 in the 30 Doradus Nebula. How did it get away? A Hubble astrophysicist explores the discovery in the ongoing series, “Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered.”

“Hubble’s Universe Unfiltered” is a recurring broadcast from HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. Astrophysicist Frank Summers takes viewers on an in-depth tour of the latest Hubble discoveries. Find more episodes at HubbleSite.org.

And Saturn and Venus return to the eastern horizon. “Tonight’s Sky” is produced by HubbleSite.org, online home of the Hubble Space Telescope. This is a recurring show, and you can find more episodes — and other astronomy videos — at HubbleSite.org.

Seeing the Future in the Stars – HubbleSite.org

Astronomers use Hubble images of the giant star cluster Omega Centauri to predict where the stars will be in a decade or more. The cluster’s 10 million stars, among the first stars to form in the universe, are in constant motion. Studying their movements helps scientists to understand the formation of the universe.
