Star formation has a lot of complex physics that feed into it. Classical models used something equivalent to a collapse of a cloud of gas by gravity, with a star being birthed in the middle. More modern understandings show a feature called a streamer, which funnels gas and dust to proto-stars from the surrounding disc of material. But our understanding of those streamers is still in its early stages, like the stars they are forming. So a new paper published in Astrophysical Journal Letters by Pablo Cortes of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and his co-authors is a welcome addition to the literature - and it shows a unique feature of the process for the first time.
