Cosmic Tornado HH49/50
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
This cosmic tornado, cataloged as HH 49/50, is a powerful jet of gas blasting from a young star. The Spitzer Space Telescope captured this image, revealing the jet's spiraling structures. These energetic outflows are known to be associated with star formation, though the exact cause of this particular shape remains a mystery. The embryonic star responsible for the 100-kilometer per second jet is just outside the top of this frame.
