Astronomy:HH 1177

From HandWiki

HH 1177 is a Herbig–Haro object in the Large Magellanic Cloud. It is a jet from a massive young B-type star.[1] It has a mass of around 15 M☉.[1] It is the first star outside the Milky Way observed to be surrounded by an accretion disk, whose radius is ~6000 AU.[1][2] The presence of the disk is inferred from the behaviour of massive jets originating from the star, which were detected for first time in 2018. [2][3]
