HD 163296: Jet from a Star in Formation
This image shows the young star system HD 163296, still in formation, with a rotating disk and an outward-moving jet. The disk, captured in radio waves by ALMA, has gaps likely carved by forming planets. The jet, visible in light from the Very Large Telescope, illustrates how material is ejected during stellar birth.
