Image: This artist's rendering of a planet-forming disk surrounding a young star shows a swirling "pancake" of hot gas and dust from which planets form. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, the team obtained detailed images showing the layered, conical structure of the disc's winds - streams of gas blowing out into space.

Herbig-harrows are luminous regions surrounding young stars. They form when stellar winds or jets of gas ejected from these stars create shock waves that collide at high speeds with nearby gas and dust.

Generally, the flow of such a jet coming out of a young star will only be seen when it collides with material around it, and creates bright shock waves that disappear when they cool, so they are difficult to observe

An unprecedented photograph of the object Herbig-Haro 46/47 combining radio observations from the Alma Observatory with much shorter wavelength photographs of visible light from ESO's New Technology Telescope. Alma observations (orange and green, lower right) of the newborn star reveal a large energetic jet moving away from us, hidden by the dust and gas in the nebula where the star was born. On the left side (in pink and purple) we see the visible part of the jet, partially flying towards us. Photo: European Southern Observatory (ESO)

The difference between the speed of dark matter and that of normal matter (baryons - all matter consisting mainly of hydrogen and helium). The speed difference is small in the areas marked in blue and large in the red areas. Compared to the density picture, the velocity shows a consistent structure on a much larger scale. Regions where the velocity differences are large are places where there are fewer stars because the halo is moving fast and is not trapped by the gravity of the dark matter concentrations, where the halo must accumulate to form stars.

Artist's impression of a disk surrounding a young giant star. Astronomers have for the first time been able to clearly look at a disk of dust closely surrounding a young giant star. This discovery provides direct evidence that massive stars form in the same way as their smaller brothers and thus closes a heated debate. The artist's rendering shows what such a massive disk might look like. Photo: ESO/L. Calçada
