Interstellar Target Practice

nachoworld writes "One of the stars of the Pleiades cluster, Merope, has been running through the nebular cloud, IC 349, in what some scientists call an "interstellar bullet," since the star is tearing up the insides of the nebular cloud for us humans back on Earth to analyze. Read about it here. Hubble Space Telescope has caught some dramatic pictures."

I have some more links for you few, but dedicated, people that read this page:

• The guys behind the discovery
• Their information on this project
• A good picture and some good background from Ast. Pic. o' Day

I recommend the last link for a quick fill.
