NASA Telescope Finds More ‘Buckyballs’ in Space

“In the cold vacuum of space, there is no edible ice cream, but there is radiation from massive stars that is carving away at cold molecular clouds, creating bizarre, fantasy-like structures.” @nightline: Breaking news from the Carina Nebula, 7,500 light years away (what’s that in lookback time? anyone?). A Hubble Space Telescope image released this morning by NASA. Actual captioning information from the Hubble site: “In the cold vacuum of space, there is no edible ice cream, but there is radiation from massive stars that is carving away at cold molecular clouds, creating bizarre, fantasy-like structures.” Photo: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Project (STScI/AURA)
