Our #HubbleTopImage features supersonic jets from young stars! ⁠ ⁠ The glowing streams of material seen in these NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images are signs of star birth. Ejected episodically by young stars, the material tears across space at more than 700,000 kilometres per hour, confined to narrow beams by stellar magnetic fields.⁠ ⁠ The jets seen in these images (HH 47, HH 34, and HH 2) are part of a series made to show their motion over time. They are roughly 1350 light-years from Earth – HH 34 and HH 2 reside near the Orion Nebula, in the northern sky. HH 47 is located in the southern constellation of Vela.⁠ ⁠ For more information check the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷 NASA, ESA, and P. Hartigan (Rice University)⁠ ⁠ #ESA #Hubble
