NASA recently shared a beautiful picture of a massive star formation with a streaming protostellar jet located 7,200 light years away from Earth in the constellation Aquila. The image of the light show was taken by Hubble Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 to conduct research on the extent of ionization in the jets blasted out of the protostar. When ionization happens, it means that atoms and molecules become charged due to the high-energy environment they are in which causes them to lose some electrons. The protostellar jets have collimated beams of matter that are ejected from young stars called protostars. Collimated means that the matter is ejected in a parallel direction which resembles a column-like shape.
