Rivers of Gas Flow Around Stars in New Space Image
NASA/JPL Mission News - Spitzer Space Telescope - 2008 Dec 08
- A new image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows a turbulent star-forming region, where rivers of gas and stellar winds are eroding thickets of dusty material. The picture provides some of the best examples yet of the ripples of gas, or bow shocks, that can form around stars in choppy cosmic waters.
