TL;DR Summary

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the newly forming star system FS Tau, showcasing jets emerging from the protostar and slicing through the gas and dust of a shining nebula. FS Tau B, a newly forming star, is surrounded by a protoplanetary disc and is likely in the process of becoming a T Tauri star. The system, located in the Taurus-Auriga region roughly 450 light-years away, provides a striking example of protostar activity and is part of ongoing research into edge-on dust discs around young stellar objects.
