对一些人来说，它可能看起来像一个蜂巢。实际上，哈勃太空望远镜拍摄的特色图像捕捉到了一个宇宙尘埃柱，长度超过两光年，其中是赫比格-哈罗666——一颗发射强大射流的年轻恒星。这个结构位于我们银河系最大的恒星形成区之一——船底座星云，在距离我们约7500光年的南方天空中闪耀。该柱的分层轮廓是由船底座年轻、炽热、大质量恒星的风和辐射形成的，其中一些恒星仍在星云内部形成。红外线穿透尘埃的图像能更好地显示出两个狭窄的高能喷流，从一颗仍然隐藏的婴儿恒星向外喷射。开放科学：浏览天体物理学源代码库中的2,600多个代码

To some, it may look like a beehive. In reality, the featured image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a cosmic pillar of dust, over two-light years long, inside of which is Herbig-Haro 666 -- a young star emitting powerful jets. The structure lies within one of our galaxy's largest star forming regions, the Carina Nebula, shining in southern skies at a distance of about 7,500 light-years. The pillar's layered outline are shaped by the winds and radiation of Carina's young, hot, massive stars, some of which are still forming inside the nebula. A dust-penetrating view in infrared light better shows the two, narrow, energetic jets blasting outward from a still hidden infant star.
