APOD 2.1
This image is very interesting. It portrays a newly born star. A hundred thousand years old, but none the less in relation to other stars, it is just a newborn. The nebula pictured in the image is more interesting to me than the star. The fact that a star forms a nebula is interesting. This leads me to wonder why our star does not have a nebula within visible distance. Also the description says that the star emits matter, that then forms the nebula. What is this matter? I was under the impression stars only emitted photons, rays of sorts and electrons.
