The cluster of young stars hidden deep inside the cloud is about one billion times more luminous than our Sun

The image, delivered by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows the distant and freakishly old Veil Nebula

Astronomers say signals previously argued to be stellar bursts are, in fact, coming from an Earth-like planet

Astronomers estimate the star is moving at a speed of about 1,200 kilometers per second (745 miles per second)

The quadruple star system is located at a distance of 136 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aries

Astronomers say the planet's surface is heated to about 1,800 degrees Celsius (nearly 3300 degrees Fahrenheit)

In fact, astronomers believe that this star flew straight through the Oort Cloud that marks the Solar System's edge

The astronomers behind this project managed to map the distribution and motion of the molecules inside these clouds

During summer, temperatures on Kepler-432b increase to a jaw-dropping 1,000° Celsius (1,832° Fahrenheit)

The exploded star, located within our home galaxy, was imaged with the help of NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory

The planets, discovered using NASA's Kepler satellite, are somewhat similar to celestial bodies in our Solar System

Having sunk its teeth into one of the star's sides, the black hole chocked on the material it was trying to engulf

The dust will help scientists better understand what happens when stars reach the end of their life and explode

Astronomers say the speeding galaxy somehow managed to survive the impact with the cluster it ripped through

The astronomers behind this discovery say that, of the eight newly found planets, two are strikingly similar to our own

The image was obtained with the help of several telescopes, ESA saw it fit to revisit it in time for this holiday season

The hot stars featured in this image are part and parcel of a cluster known to astronomer as Messier 47
