Explanation:
If you visit HH 24, don't go near the particle beam jet. This potential future
travel advisory might be issued because the powerful jet likely contains
electrons and protons moving hundreds of kilometers per second. The above image
was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in infrared light in order to better
understand turbulent star forming regions known as Young Stellar Objects
(YSOs). Frequently when a star forms, a disk of dust and gas circles the YSO
causing a powerful central jets to appear. In this case, the energetic jets are
creating, at each end, Herbig-Haro object 24 (HH 24), as they slam into the
surrounding interstellar gas. The entire star forming region lies about 1,500
light years distant in the Orion B molecular cloud complex. Due to their
rarity, jets like that forming HH 24 are estimated to last only a few thousand
years.
