The young binary star IRS 44 in the constellation Ophiuchus resembles a bustling kitchen: streams of gas, like jets of dough, fall onto a rotating disk, and where they strike, heat is born.
A disk of gas and dust spins around the young star HV Tau C, nearly edge-on to us. The James Webb Space Telescope examined its spectrum and detected the glow of hot molecular hydrogen (H₂). This revealed a wide, bipolar wind blasting from the inner regions far beyond the disk.
