flag Hubble captures fastest, longest jet from forming star, 32 light-years long and moving at 2.2 million mph.

flag The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the longest and fastest jet of hot gas ever seen from a forming star, stretching 32 light-years and moving at over 2.2 million miles per hour. flag The jet, emanating from a massive protostar named IRAS 18162-2048 in Orion, illuminates two interstellar clouds, HH 80 and HH 81, creating glowing regions visible due to shockwaves heating the gas. flag This rare phenomenon, driven by magnetic fields and rapid rotation, offers new insights into how massive stars form and shape their surroundings.
