On its 36th anniversary, the Hubble Space Telescope revisits the Trifid Nebula (Messier 20), a roughly 5,000-light-year-old star-forming region, with a newer wide-field camera to reveal changes on human timescales and features like protostellar jets and ultraviolet winds sculpting the gas—underscoring Hubble’s ongoing legacy of discovery and collaboration with Webb.
Astronomers using ALMA have for the first time spatially resolved protostellar outflows and jets in the Milky Way's outer region, revealing that star formation physics is universal despite environmental differences, with episodic ejections and unique chemical signatures observed in a low-metallicity, primitive environment.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has shared a stunning image of the constellation Aquila, located 7,200 light-years away from Earth. The image captures a region known as G35.2-0.7N, which is a hotbed for the formation of high-mass stars that will eventually become supernovae. The picture showcases a protostellar jet, which is a collimated beam of matter ejected from a young star. The post has garnered significant attention and appreciation on social media.
