Experts took pictures of the “Hand of God” in space at a distance of 1,300 light years and revealed its enormous size.

The US National Science Foundation on Cerro Tololo achieved to capture on May 10 a phenomenon called the “Hand of God.” because of its heavenly form. This nebula is known as CG4, a cometary globule located in the Milky Way, 1,300 light-years from Earth in the constellation Puppis. The phenomenon in question was discovered by Victor M. Blanco using a four-meter telescope.an instrument that allowed astronomers and experts to study this globule in detail, revealing its size and composition.

They captured the “Hand of God” in space, and experts were impressed, although this is not the first time such a strange cometary globule has been seen.

comet globules In fact, these are interstellar clouds of gas and dust, which are very difficult to detect, much less have such strange and peculiar shapes.. In 1976, the British Schmidt Telescope in Australia was able to photograph several of these cometary globules, although at the time it was completely unknown what these special phenomena were. Now, in our time, there is more knowledge, and the CG 4 nebula has revolutionized American experts. This “Hand of God” is composed, as indicated from ACETo a dusty head 1.5 light years in diameter and a tail about eight light years longwhich is significant given that the tails of these phenomena can block much of the light from passing through.

still It is not known why the shapes of different cometary globules are so different from each other.. It is assumed that initially these globules could have been spherical nebulae, the formation of which was interrupted by the effects of a nearby supernova explosion, which would have served as a priori justification. Although there are other astronomers who firmly believe that cometary globules determine their shape depending on the stellar winds and ionizing radiation to which they are exposed. Experts are still studying this phenomenon closely to understand all its details, but it appears there is still a long way to go to come to a clear conclusion.
