Researchers from the
Stratospheric Observatory Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy
(SOFIA), made the incredibly detailed images of a massive star, immersed in a
dense cocoon of dust and gas.
This star is called
G35.20-0.74, or simply G35. It is one of the most massive protostar known to
scientists, and is located relatively close to Earth - at a space of 8,000
light years.
