UNAWE Space Scoop - High Speed Baby Star Tantrums

Description
https://www.spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2304/high-speed-baby-star-tantrums/ Baby stars form when thick clouds of gas and dust fall into themselves or collapse due to gravity. Not all of the material collapses to form a baby star.   A new study shows that some gas can escape at a high speed, which astrophysicists call a high-speed outflow. Because most stars form in large groups, theory predicts that some of these high-speed outflows of gas, coming from a star-forming cloud, can mix with another cloud nearby. This mixing can possibly affect the star formation in the nearby cloud.    We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Only eight times in history have scientists found an asteroid, tracked its trajectory toward Earth, and caught the resulting fireball on cameras. The latest of these eight events happened in January 2024, with the discovery of asteroid 2024 BX1, a mere three hours before impacting the atmosphere...
