"Solving Cosmic Mysteries: Baby Star 'Sneezes' Unveil Development Secrets"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers have observed a baby star in the Taurus constellation "sneezing" out dust, gas, and magnetic energy, shedding most of its magnetic energy early in its evolution. This shedding mechanism prevents the star's high-spinning profile from breaking apart. The discovery, made using the ALMA observatory, suggests that such sneezing events could be a common method by which stars evolve. The expelled material may remain in interstellar space for eons, and further research will investigate the impact of these events on planet formation.
