'Pacman' Nebula Gets Some Teeth

'Pacman' Nebula Gets Some Teeth


Reference- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/10/111028082226.htm

Summary- Pacman Nebula is getting some teeth researchers says. These teeth that they are looking at may be new stars are being formed. The radiation and the winds from massive stars in a center cluster blew the gas away only leaving densest of material. The red dots in the picture is thought to be the densest stars. The Pacman nebula is also called NGC 281, is located 9,200 light years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Critique- They should have more research on this. Even though this is amazing how the cluster blew the gas away only leaving the densest material.

Impact- I think that the research is amazing. I like it how the massive winds are forming something new in the Pacman nebula.
