James Webba telescope has staggered Space Tornado. This image answers a mystery that has been interested in astronomers for almost 20 years.
As reports Popular Science, it is about HH 49/50-the object of Herbiga-Aro. This is called small areas of nebulae associated with young stars.
For the first time, the HH 49/50 noticed the Spitzer Space Telescope in 2006. This object is located approximately 625 light years from Earth in the constellation of Chameleon. For a clear funnel form, the astronomer was nicknamed HH 49/50 « Space Tornado ».
Herbiga-Aro objects are not rare, but they only occur in very specific circumstances. HH is associated with the early stages of dawn development, when called protozoria. They last millions of years.
During this time, a huge amount of energy is generated, including the creation of Herbig-Aro. They are formed after high -energy streams fly several light years and face areas of denser matter.

The HH 49/50 image made by the Webba telescope is one of the best among Herbiga-Aro. It shows twisted jet flows, which, according to scientists, are removed from us at a speed of 96 to 305 kilometers per hour. They consist of hot carbon and hydrogen monoxide molecules, as well as high -energy cosmic dust.
The source of « vortex » is probably a protozor as Cederblad 110 IRS4. It can be seen in the lower right corner of the image. The protozor is located about 1.5 light years from HH 49/50. The age of Cederblad 110 IRS does not exceed one million years and is at the peak stage of weight gain.
When Spitzer recorded HH 49/50, the astronomers noticed a small bright spot on the upper end of the Space Tornado. Since then, experts have tried to find out his belonging.
It turned out that it was a spiral galaxy. In the blue central convexity are old stars, and in the red region inside the spiral sleeves – clouds of gas and protozoric galaxy.
Recall astronomers discovered Space « tornadoes » that rage in the center of the Milky Way.
