Gemini Spies Supersonic Stellar Winds in McNeil Nebula
|
A timely discovery by American amateur astronomer Jay McNeil, followed immediately by observations at the Gemini Observatory, has provided a rare glimpse into the slow yet violent birth of a star about 1,500 light-years away. The Gemini findings reveal some of the strongest stellar winds ever detected around an embryonic Sun-like star. See full Press Release and Images En Español - Versión adaptada en Chile |
