Los objetos de Herbig-Haro: chorros de materia que flotan entre el gas y las estrellas

Los objetos de Herbig-Haro son algunas de las vistas más raras y espectaculares que podemos ver en el cielo profundo, estos curiosos y sublimes objetos toman la forma de finos chorros de materia que flotan entre el gas y las estrellas circundantes. Los dos objetos Herbig-Haro catalogados como HH46 y HH47, que se ven en la siguiente imagen tomada con el Telescopio Espacial Hubble, fueron…

This might look like a double-bladed lightsaber, but these two cosmic jets actually beam outward from a newborn star in a galaxy near you. Constructed from Hubble Space Telescope image data, the stunning scene spans about half a light-year across Herbig-Haro 24 (HH 24), some 1,300 light-years or 400 parsecs away in the stellar nurseries of the Orion B molecular cloud complex. Hidden from direct view, HH 24's central protostar is surrounded by cold dust and gas flattened into a rotating accretion disk. As material from the disk falls toward the young stellar object it heats up. Opposing jets are blasted out along the system's rotation axis. Cutting through the region's interstellar matter, the narrow, energetic jets produce a series of glowing shock fronts along their path.
