HH-30 (also V1213 Tauri) is an edge-on protoplanetary disk that is surrounded by jets and a disk wind. [6] HH-30 is located in the dark cloud LDN 1551 in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The HH-30 disk is the prototype of an edge-on disk, [2] due to its early discovery with Hubble. [4] Discovery

9 hours ago · The protostar, called HH 30, is a what's known in astronomy as a Herbig-Haro object – a bright patch of cosmic emission associated with newborn stars. The Hubble Space Telescope was the first to ...

Feb 4, 2025 · Together, these data reveal HH 30 to be a dynamic place, where tiny dust grains and massive jets alike play a role in the formation of new planets. The annotated version of this image can be seen here. [Image Description: A close-in image of a protoplanetary disc around a newly formed star. Many different wavelengths of light are combined and ...

Feb 4, 2025 · HH 30 is of particular interest to astronomers. In fact, the HH 30 disc is considered the prototype of an edge-on disc, thanks to its early discovery with the Hubble Space Telescope. Discs seen from this view are a unique laboratory to study the settling and drift of dust grains.

3 days ago · HH 30, a fascinating Herbig-Haro object, serves as a cosmic laboratory for studying star formation and planetary evolution. This celestial wonder features a striking edge-on protoplanetary disc, concealing a young star that fuels a narrow, high-velocity jet of gas. Observations from Webb, Hubble,

Feb 4, 2025 · HH 30 is an example of where this outflowing gas takes the form of a narrow jet. The source star is located on one end of the jet, hidden behind an edge-on protoplanetary disc that the star is illuminating. HH 30 is of particular interest to astronomers.

HH 30 in the infrared HH 30, a newborn star seen surrounded by a disk of gas and dust (viewed edge-on). Material is blowing off the disk in cone shapes above and below the disk, with thin jets of plasma rushing past them. Image taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Sep 21, 2000 · Hubble observations of HH 30 show a pair of thin jets streaming away from the center of a dusty disk. The disk, which is over 40 billion miles (64 billion kilometers) in diameter, is seen almost edge-on.

Jun 6, 1995 · This view of a protostellar object called HH-30 reveals an edge-on disk of dust encircling a newly forming star. Light from the forming star illuminates the top and bottom surfaces of the disk, making them visible, while the star itself is hidden behind the densest parts of the disk.
