Young Stars: Gamma Rays from Jets ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Evidence for protostellar jets as a population of hadronic gamma-ray sources"
Newborn stars have been found emitting gamma rays: their jets accelerate protons, which produce powerful radiation.

The birth of a star isn't just a quiet warming up. New research shows: many protostars are powerful gamma-ray emitters. Their jets, like giant accelerators, boost protons to near-light speeds, and when they slam into gas clouds, they produce flashes of gamma rays. This hidden glow can reshape the entire cradle where planets form.
🎯 Protostellar jets accelerate protons to 99.99% the speed of light — faster than any human-made particle accelerator.
