NASA was able to capture an image of a baby star by using a huge radio telescope in Chile recently according to SPACE.com.

The Atacama Large Millimeter Array telescope is a joint project between Asia, Europe, and North America.

The image shows a "glowing gas" called Herbig-Haro 46/47 that formed when the materials crashes into surrounding gas and dust according to SPACE.com.

The ALMA telescope captured the nascent star around 1,400 light-years away from Earth. The star let go material at approximately 84,477 mph.

"This system is similar to most isolated low mass stars during their formation and birth," Diego Mardones, a co-author of the study, said in a press statement according to CBS News. "But it is also unusual because the outflow impacts the cloud directly on one side of the young star and escapes out of the cloud on the other. This makes it an excellent system for studying the impact of the stellar winds on the parent cloud from which the young star is formed."

Astronomers claim the photo is the first to be taken by ALMA, as it was still under construction at the time of the photo op.

ALMA is a $1.3 billion project according to NASA. The telescope is made up of 66 individual radio telescopes that makes one of the most powerful telescopes ever produced.

Each dish is 40 feet wide and weighs 115 tons according to SPACE.com.
