The journal Nature reported on Wednesday that astronomers have confirmed a key theory about the formative of massive stars Using powerful telescopes peering into deep space.Images obtained by NASA’s orbital Spitzer Space Telescope and from a ground-based European telescope showed a dusty disc closely encircling a newly-born but huge star.<\/p>\n

It is the first direct evidence that very large stars — those with masses at least 10 times that of the Sun — are born in the same way as smaller brethren, from a disk-shaped cloud of dust and gas.A competing theory was that massive stars were formed from smaller stars that merged.<\/p>\n

“This is the first time we could image the inner regions of the disc around a massive young star,” said Stefan Kraus of the European Southern Observatory. He also added that “Our observations show that formation works the same for all stars, regardless of mass.”<\/p>\n

The astronomers looked at a large star known as IRAS 13481-6124, about 20 times the mass of the Sun, located about 10,000 light years in the constellation of Centaurus.<\/p>\n
