Physicists show how stellar jets develop

United Press International

U.S. and British astrophysicists say they have conducted the first laboratory experiment that accurately models stellar jets and explains how they form... 'The predominant theory says that jets are essentially fire hoses that shoot out matter in a steady stream, and the stream breaks up as it collides with gas and dust in space, but that doesn't appear to be so after all,' said University of Rochester Professor Adam Frank... Frank said the experiment, conducted with Imperial College of London Professor Sergey Lebedev, might be the best astrophysical experiment that's ever been done.
