A Disk and Jet in Haro 6-5B
Stars condense from disks of gas and dust. This false-color image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows Haro 6-5B, a young star system with an edge-on disk. The disk funnels the star's light into an hourglass shape, making it easier to study. Observing these protoplanetary disks helps astronomers understand how planets form.
