The cosmic structure is slightly distorted by gravitational interactions

The object formed very shortly after the Big Bang

Some of its dustier areas are also clearly visible in the photo

The celestial body was discovered back in July 2003

The small object lies relatively close to the Milky Way

Hubble captures rare cosmic event in exquisite detail

The image is focused on the main star-forming clouds inside the structure
