APOTD: Star jets
-
The particle beam of a new-born star[^] is visible in this infrared image taken by the Hubble Telescope. These jets are believed to be formed when a new star is forming: not all of the material falling inwards makes it, and instead gets pushed outwards towards the poles of rotation, moving faster and faster and eventually shooting off as a highly accelerated, tightly spinning beam of plasma. If you look towards the top of the image, you will see where the beam has punctured a molecular cloud, creating a wake.

That's what they want you to think. Actually, the locals are test firing the primary weapon on their brand spankin' new Death Star.

This is one of the better ones it has a kind of mystical look, very nice! :thumbsup:
