A “cosmic eagle” staring at us with angry eyes, the “Hubble” sniper rifle.

NASA’s Hubble telescope captured a very interesting scene that cannot be seen by ground-based telescopes because of its distance from our galaxy.

The team overseeing the work of the “Hubble Space Telescope” shared a tweet on its Twitter page that included wonderful scenes captured by the space telescope.
In the published video, two bright stars within a frame appear, at first glance, very strange and similar to an eagle bird with bright and angry eyes looking towards the planet Earth, in a wonderful scene shot by telescope lenses billions of light-years away.

“Hubble discovered a pair of fake stars about 10 billion light-years away,” read the tweet that accompanied the post.

The publication added: “They (the stars) are so close to each other that they look like one object for ground-based telescopes, but above the mysterious atmosphere of Earth, Hubble can distinguish between the two stars.

According to “NASA”, researchers believe that the two false stars (or quasars) are very close to each other because they are located in the heart of two merging galaxies.

Quasars are scattered throughout the universe and were more abundant 10 billion years ago. As there have been a lot of galaxy mergers that have been feeding black holes.

Astronomers assumed that at that point in the life of the universe, there must be many quasars double stars.
