Young Star, Dark Cloud

COSMIC MESSAGE

This Spitzer Space Telescope image shows high-speed outflows of molecular gas from a young star, HH 46/47, glowing in infrared light. The star is embedded within a dark nebula, or Bok globule, which is largely opaque in visible light. These energetic outflows extend for nearly a light-year, carving into the surrounding interstellar material.
