Zooming in on XZ Tauri

This video begins with a ground-based view of the night sky, before zooming in on multiple star system XZ Tauri as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope sees it.

XZ Tauri is blowing a hot bubble of gas into the surrounding space, which is filled with bright and beautiful clumps that are emitting strong winds and jets. These objects illuminate the region, creating a truly dramatic scene.
