Seven hundred and fifty light-years from Earth, a young, sunlike star has been found with jets that blast epic quantities of water into interstellar space, shooting out droplets that move faster than a speeding bullet.
The discovery suggests that protostars may be seeding the universe with water. These stellar embryos shoot jets of material from their north and south poles as their growth is fed by infalling dust that circles the bodies in vast disks.
"If we picture these jets as giant hoses and the water droplets as bullets, the amount shooting out equals a hundred million times the water flowing through the Amazon River every second," said Lars Kristensen, a postdoctoral astronomer at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
"We are talking about velocities reaching 200,000 kilometers [124,000 miles] per hour, which is about 80 times faster than bullets flying out of a machine gun," said Kristensen, lead author of the new study detailing the discovery, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

That's really something. The creative force and responsibility wielded at that level is just amazing.

wow...do you realize that that star is from outside the octave??

It's an ongoing, violent stellar explosion which reached Larson's 'intermediate range' speeds. A lot of what's going on with that explosion, we can't see as it's in time/space - hence the bi-polar jet formations.

it's from outside the octave? you mean not in our galaxy?

What do you mean by this?

sub-Logoi are all densities from the octave 1 to 7 8th being first to next. I remember Ra saying the sun is outside the octave, but I cannot find the exact quote. Maybe I'm wrong.
