Way out toward the edge of our Milky Way galaxy, a young star that is still forming is sending out a birth announcement to the Universe in the form of a celebratory looking firework. 🎆
Twin jets of hot gasses are blazing across 8 light-years – twice the distance between our Sun and the nearest star system. The central protostar, weighing as much as ten of our Suns, is located 15,000 light-years away in the outer reaches of our galaxy. 🔭 🧪
