Summary

Description
English: The sinuous young stellar jet, MHO 2147, meanders lazily across a field of stars in this image captured from Chile by the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF's NOIRLab. The stellar jet is the outflow from a young star that is embedded in an infrared dark cloud. Astronomers suspect its sidewinding appearance is caused by the gravitational attraction of companion stars. These crystal-clear observations were made using the Gemini South telescope’s adaptive optics system, which helps astronomers counteract the blurring effects of atmospheric turbulence.
Español: El chorro estelar MHO 2147 serpentea a través de un campo de estrellas en esta imagen capturada desde Chile por el telescopio Gemini Sur, un Programa de NOIRLab de NSF y de Observatorio AURA en Chile. El chorro estelar es el flujo de gas proveniente de una estrella joven que se encuentra incrustada en una oscura nube infrarroja. Los astrónomos creen que su forma sinuosa es causada por la atracción gravitacional de estrellas compañeras. Estas nítidas observaciones fueron realizadas utilizando el sistema de óptica adaptativa del telescopio de Gemini Sur, que ayuda a los astrónomos a contrarrestar los efectos de desenfoque que produce la turbulencia atmosférica.
