Скачать или смотреть NASA Found a "Vampire Sandwich" in Space! 🧛🍔

It looks like a giant space Sandwich. 🍔🌌
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has just imaged the largest protoplanetary disk ever discovered, and it has the best nickname in astronomy history: "Dracula’s Chivito."

Why the name?
It was discovered by a team with researchers from Transylvania (home of Dracula) and Uruguay (where the "Chivito" sandwich is a national icon). Plus, it literally looks like a sandwich!

But the science is even crazier than the name:
The Scale: This object (IRAS 23077+6707) spans 400 billion miles. That is 40 times wider than our entire Solar System.

The "Meat": The dark band in the middle is a dense dust lane blocking the star’s light, while the glowing "buns" are gas illuminated by the newborn star inside.

The Chaos: Hubble revealed that this system is surprisingly violent. It is "lopsided," with massive filaments trailing off one side, suggesting that planet formation is a chaotic, turbulent process.

You are looking at a factory that is building a solar system... on a scale we can barely comprehend.

✨ Does it look more like a hamburger or a chivito sandwich to you? Let me know! 👇
