An international team of astronomers observed the crucial phase of the birth of a star "in real time", using the recordings of radio telescopes in the space of 18 years.
The young star is located 4,200 light years from Earth and is surrounded by a cloud of dust Recordings stars in the space of 18 years reveal that this pillar of gas formed and how it has changed, published by the journal Science.
Footage was captured by the Very Large Array.
The star is about 300 times brighter than the sun and is named W75N (B) -VLA2.
Huib van Langeveld from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands, said that watching the dramatic birth of stars unique opportunity.
"This facility provides us an exciting possibility to observe the development of the stars through the years, while the very young star passes through the characteristic bipolar development," said Van Langeveld, one of the astronomers involved in the study.
