NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures an interesting image of HOPS 150, a galactic butterfly of sorts, located in the Orion Nebula approximately 1,300 light-years from Earth. What you’re actually looking at is a binary system containing two young protostars orbiting each other.
Each one of these protostars boasts a small, dusty disc of material surrounding it that it is feeding from, while the dark line that cuts across the bright glow is essentially cloud of gas and dust, over 2 000 times wider than the distance between Earth and the Sun. We can also see a narrow, colorful jet, caused by the outflow from protostar HOPS 153, which is a significantly younger stellar object than its neighbor, enshrouded by a cloud of cold, dense gas.

An area in the Orion nebula filled with dark, puffy clouds. On the left side a large area of clouds, crossed by a dark bar, is lit up in red and whitish colors by a protostar within. At the other side a large jet of material ejected by the protostar appears, made of thin, wispy, blue and pink clouds. A couple of foreground stars shine brightly in front of the nebula,” said the ESA.
