Title : Hubble Images Reveal a Young Star's Dynamic Disk and Jets
Caption :
Hubble Images Reveal a Young Star's Dynamic Disk and Jets. These images of HH 30 show changes over only a five-year period in the disk and jets of this newborn star, which is about half a million years old. The pictures were taken between 1995 and 2000 with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 aboard The Space Telescope. Astronomers are interested in the disk because it is probably similar to the one from which the Sun and the planets in our solar system formed.
