A Particle Beam Jet forms HH 24
If you were to visit HH 24, you would want to avoid its powerful particle beam jet. This jet likely contains electrons and protons moving at hundreds of kilometers per second. The Hubble Space Telescope took this infrared image to study turbulent star-forming regions, called Young Stellar Objects, where these jets often appear as a star forms within a disk of gas and dust.
