A shroud of thick gas and dust surrounds a bright young star in this #HubbleFriday view! 🌟
Typically, material surrounding a young star is funneled into twin outflows of gas and dust from the star. But in this case, a fan-like spray of material traveling at velocities of up to 217 miles per second (350 km/s) is spreading outwards from the center of this image.

Image description: A glowing, young star at the center of the image is surrounded by thick shrouds of orange gas and dust. Towards the edges of the image, bright stars shine against a black backdrop of space.
