This was reported by the observatory, Ukrinform reports.

The space object is located about 7,000 light-years from Earth. Bathed in bright red light, this image contains several interesting features, including a free-floating sphere of evaporating gas (frEGG).

The frEGG in this bright image is the small tadpole-shaped dark area in the upper-left center corner. This bubble has two rather “unflattering” names – [KAG2008] sphere 13 and J025838.6+604259.

frEGG is stated to be a separate class of volatile gas globules (EGG). Both frEGG and EGG are gaseous regions that are dense enough. They evaporate with worse light than the less compact gas that surrounds them.

Photoevaporation occurs when the gas is ionized and dispersed by an intense radiation source; young, hot stars that typically emit large amounts of ultraviolet light.

As reported by Ukrinform, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the scattered star cluster NGC 6530 in the constellation Sagittarius.
