Jets, Bubbles and Bursts of Light in Taurus | Hubble

Jets, Bubbles and Bursts of Light in Taurus | Hubble



The NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope has snapped a striking view of a multiple star system called XZ Tauri, its neighbor HL Tauri and several nearby young stellar objects. XZ Tauri is blowing a hot bubble of gas into the surrounding space, which is filled with bright and beautiful clumps that are emitting strong winds and jets. These objects illuminate the region, creating a truly dramatic scene.
