It is noted that this space region is known as the formation center of high-mass stars.

The stars formed here are so massive that they end their lives as a destructive supernova (a star that suddenly increases its brightness billions of times). But even when they form, they have a strong impact on the environment.

At least one B-type star, the second most massive type, is visible in this image.

Spectral class B stars are blue stars with extremely high luminosity. Their spectrum contains neutral helium lines that reach their maximum intensity in the B2 subclass region.

Space telescope, Ukrinform reported Hubble photographed the galaxy SDSS J103512.07+461412.2Located in the constellation Ursa Major.
