The original star creates tornadoes in the universe

The scientists observed the tornado emanating from the primitive star TMC1A, taking away the material and gas from the surrounding disk material.

Astronomers have published results of observations of whirlwinds released by TMC1A, a 100,000-year-old protostar star located 450 light-years from Earth, in the December 15 issue of Nature, according to IFL Science. .

The wind is formed in the disk around TMC1A and rotated with it. When the wind rotates away from the star, it removes part of the energy.

"By using the ALMA telescope, we were able to monitor the first phase of a primitive star. We observed how tornado-like winds lifted materials and gases from the turntable , " Per Bjerkelo, from the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, the lead author of the study, said.

According to Professor Jes Jorgensen, research co-author, tornadoes sometimes stop smoking materials, causing them to float freely.

"This reduces the rotating speed of the disc, helping the star to stand. In the process, the materials in the disk accumulate and form planets," Jorgensen said.
