Hubble telescope captures dazzling stellar duo in Orion Nebula

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a dazzling new view of two tempestuous young stars in the nearby Orion Nebula. 
A bright variable star known as V 372 Orionis is the larger central star surrounded by hazy blue clouds in the recent Hubble Space Telescope photo, while its companion star can be seen to the upper left. These stars reside in the Orion Nebula — a region of stellar formation located around 1,450 light-years away from Earth. 
"V 372 Orionis is a particular type of variable star known as an Orion Variable. These young stars experience some tempestuous moods and growing pains, which are visible to astronomers as irregular variations in luminosity," European Space Agency (ESA) officials said in a statement. "Orion Variables are often associated with diffuse nebulae, and V 372 Orionis is no exception; the patchy gas and dust of the Orion Nebula pervade this scene."
