BIRTH OF STARS. “Herbig-Haro jet. Here, we see a Herbig-Haro jet, which spurts out of some newborn stars. After a star forms, there is usually a disk of gas and dust left around it. Complex interactions between this disk and the star’s magnetic field mean that some of the gas ends up being thrown out at incredibly high speeds. The shock wave of the gas ripping through the interstellar medium creates this brightly glowing jet, as seen here.”
