Artist’s impression of DG Tauri B , a baby star on its formation located 450 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Taurus. The star (at the center of the scene) is in the phase of mass accretion from the circumstellar disk (the dark/red torus around the protostar) made up of dense gas and dusty material. The stellar magnetic field guides gas from the inner edge of the disk to the stellar surface in distinct colum-like flows. The star is not directly visible in observations collected with the Hubble Space Telescope because it is hidden by the disk (that is observed edge on) which absorbs its light; this explains the dark central lane in Hubble observations. A bipolar outflow is driven by dense collimated gas jets (marked purple in the scene) that originate from the poles of the protostar and extend for a distance of ~150 billion kilometers.Credits: based on a MHD model available here; INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo
