NASA seems to be jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon, recently writing a blog post stating, “Just in time for the release of the movie Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has photographed what looks like a cosmic, double-bladed lightsaber.”
While some of the images of the cosmic lightsaber are obscured by a “dark, Jedi-like cloak of dust,” you can make out a section of the Orion B molecular cloud complex.
The YouTube description:
This sequence combines a two-dimensional zoom and a three-dimensional flight to explore the Hubble Space Telescope’s striking image of the Herbig-Haro object known as HH 24.
