Lightsaber star

Lightsaber star

THE FORCE AWAKENS. In the Orion B molecular cloud complex, a young star is still gathering the material that will one day make up its bulk. It shoots out jets of excess gas from its poles, forming a bright beam reminiscent of a Star Wars lightsaber. The jets collide with surrounding clouds of material, producing shock waves and forming a nebulous region called a Herbig-Haro (HH) object. This protostar has formed HH 24, and astronomers are studying it carefully to learn more about how stars form and grow.
