Good afternoon, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "LDN 1471: A Windblown Star Cavity." This Hubble image of Lynds Dark Nebula (LDN) 1471 was captured in the Perseus Molecular Cloud. LDN 1471 is is a rather large region of dust, except for the particular region where a star is forming. To the lower left and upper right of the protostar star are Herbig-Haro objects,. As we've seen in other APODs, they are puffs of matter emitted from the poles of young stellar objects as the star accretes matter from the disks surrounding them. Most of the stuff goes into the star, but some of it ends up sent out along the polar axes at some incredible speeds. The protostar was originally noticed by the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Thank you my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for Wednesday, May 6, 2020 entitled "LDN 1471: A Windblown Star Cavity."
I have to admit I much prefer this images of God's creation to the simulations and especially the mages of man-made technology.

"Explanation: What is the cause of this unusual parabolic structure? This illuminated cavity, known as LDN 1471, was created by a newly forming star, seen as the bright source at the peak of the parabola. This protostar is experiencing a stellar outflow which is then interacting with the surrounding material in the Perseus Molecular Cloud, causing it to brighten. We see only one side of the cavity -- the other side is hidden by dark dust. The parabolic shape is caused by the widening of the stellar-wind blown cavity over time. Two additional structures can also be seen either side of the protostar, these are known as Herbig-Haro objects, again caused by the interaction of the outflow with the surrounding material. What causes the striations on the cavity walls, though, remains unknown. The featured image was taken by NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope after an original detection by the Spitzer Space Telescope."

I agree with you Brother LTC Ford. I would much rather see all of God's creations anywhere anytime.

Good afternoon Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and what an amazing image of this LDN 1471... I believe that it is the parabolic dispersion of light and material in the solar wind emanating from the Lynds Dark Nebula that caught my eye almost immediately! Such an awesome view! Thank you for sharing it, Bill...
