The new JWST image of HH 46/47. (NASA, ESA, CSA, J. DePasquale/STScI)Some of this material, astronomers believe, doesn't make it onto the star. Rather, it is whisked away along magnetic field lines around the outside of the protostar, and accelerated towards the poles. When it reaches the poles, it is launched away at high speeds as a collimated jet. It's very similar to the process whereby active black holes launch jets.
