The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope photographed the variable star V 372 Orionis and its small companion in the Orion Nebula.

This was reported by the observatory, reported Ukrinform.

Both stars are located in the Orion Nebula, a massive star forming region about 1,450 light-years from Earth.

V 372 Orion is a special type of variable star known as the “Orion variable”. These young stars experience certain turbulent moods and growth problems that astronomers see as erratic fluctuations in brightness.

Orion’s variants are often associated with diffuse nebulae, that is, those that emit light.

As reported by Ukrniform, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed the irregular dwarf galaxy UGC 7983 in the constellation Virgo.
