- Finding Yellowballs in our Milky Way - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory . . .
The yellow balls represent an intermediary stage of massive star formation that takes place before massive stars carve out cavities in the surrounding gas and dust (seen as green-rimmed bubbles with red interiors in this image)
- Yellowballs offer insights into star formation | Space | EarthSky
Stars are born from clouds of gas and dust in space What astronomers call yellowballs are thought to be clusters of still-forming young stars, heating the gas and dust of their surroundings
- “Yellowballs” Offer New Insights Into Star Formation
Their distinctive ‘yellow’ appearance relates to wavelengths that trace complex organic molecules and dust as they are warmed by very young stars embedded in their birth clouds ”
- Star formation - Wikipedia
Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds in interstellar space —sometimes referred to as "stellar nurseries" or "star-forming regions"— collapse and form stars [1]
- Citizen Scientists Discover a new Feature in Star Formation . . .
It appears that young stars produce that yellowing effect by heating the gas and dust they are surrounded by in their early stages Yellowballs seem to form in the first 100,000 years of a
- A New Way to Detect the Early Stages of Massive Star Formation
Volunteers using the web-based Milky Way Project brought star-forming features nicknamed “yellowballs” to the attention of researchers, who later showed that they are a phase of massive star formation
- Star - Formation, Evolution, Lifecycle | Britannica
Stars form only from the densest regions, termed cloud cores, though they need not lie at the geometric centre of the cloud
- Snapshot: ‘Yellowballs,’ spotted by citizen scientists, offer a window . . .
In the quest to unravel the mysteries of star formation, yellowballs could be a powerful new tool These dusty cocoons — like the one pictured above at left — harbor a cluster of newborn
