LBV-1806-20 may have formed in what Eikenberry called “violent, triggered star formation.” In the process, a huge, massive star reaches the end of its lifespan and explodes in an intense supernova. The shockwave from that supernova then hits a young star just as its forming, compressing gas around it quickly — over a period of 100,000 years or so — at forces greater than the star is able to blow off on its own. —Biggest, Brightest Star Puzzles Astronomers (Space.com)

Cool stuff. There’s a picture and an article on space.com about a star that has jets of water(?) spurting out from both sides. It looks like a war shield with a spear tearing through it.
