Yeah, uh... Can we have a link please? Or a little description?
I think the object pictures is HH30 (HH for Herbig-Haro object.
What you can see is the proto planetary disk around a newly formed star and the jets of matter ejected by the star.
The disk will later collapse into the planets orbiting the star and the jets will fade.
Edit: For these kinds of objects, the stars are often not fully formed, hence they are called proto stars.
Thank you kind lemming!
