Usually, matter surrounding a young star is diverted away from the star into a binary stream of gas and dust.

However, in the case of IRAS 05506+2414, material sprays are directed outward in the form of a fan from the center of this image at speeds of up to 350 kilometers per second.

As reported by Ukrinform, the NASA/ESA Hubble space telescope photographed spiral galaxy NGC 1961 in the constellation Giraffe.
