The II' in H II indicates that the hydrogen gas that enshrouds these young stars is ionized , which is the result of the hot , young stars that have formed recently , and are starting to burn away the cooler gas that condensed to form them . 0160 Based on recent measurements the massive star in the center is believed to have opened a hole in an existing molecular cloud through which much of the glowing material flows .

With a mass above fifteen times that of the Sun and joined with a star that will soon become a supernova , then a black hole itself . This is also the second most massive stellar-mass black hole ever found . 0160 This is the most distant stellar-mass black hole ever weighed , and it's the first one we've seen outside our own galactic neighborhood , the Local Group , quot says Paul Crowther , Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Sheffield and lead author of the paper reporting the study .

When the Daily Galaxy staff views the ethereal beauty of the object , we are inspired to wonder : what lies within what mysteries life forms make this island in the cosmos their home Since the galaxy's disk is inclined to our line-of-sight , long telescopic exposures often result in an image that evokes a strong sense of depth . The effect is further enhanced in this well-framed view by the galaxies that lie beyond this beautiful island universe .
