in vibrant hues of orange, blue and purple.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">Space experts say the striking colors represent where collisions of matter are taking place, which led to the formation of molecules such as carbon monoxide, methanol and other organic compounds.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">The compounds are often referred to by science as building blocks of planetary formations and

ultimately becoming features similar to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxweather.com\/category\/sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">The jets and outflows of gas and dust will gradually disperse, leaving behind material that may one day form planets &#8211; potentially creating an alignment similar to our own solar system.<\/p>\n<p
