Our #HubbleTopImage features a young star rebelling against its parent cloud!⁠ ⁠ There is nothing peaceful about star forming region Sh 2-106. A devilish young star, named S106 IR 😈 lies in it and ejects material at high speed, disrupting the gas and dust around it. S106 IR is in the final stages of its formation – it will soon quieten down by entering the main sequence, the adult stage of stellar life.⁠ ⁠ For now, it remains embedded in its parent cloud, but it is rebelling against it. The material spewing off the star gives the cloud its hourglass shape!⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 NASA & ESA⁠ ⁠ #ESA #Hubble
