HH-30 - stellar disc and jet motion
This Hubble Space Telescope image reveals unprecedented detail in a newly forming star called HH-30. Exposures taken a year apart show the motion of high speed blobs of gas (arrows) that are being ejected from the star at a half-million miles per hour (about 800 thousand kilometres per hour).
