What you see here is an image of a Herbig-Haro object (HH 110), captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
They come in a variety of shapes, but most often appear as jets escaping in opposite directions from the region of a newborn star. They are fed by material from the circumstellar disk, which, instead of falling onto the star, accelerates and escapes the newborn system. One such jet is visible in this image. The complex structures within HH 110 and other Herbig-Haro objects arise from the interaction of ejected material with the cooler surrounding interstellar medium. When these objects collide, shock waves are generated in the material. These shock waves heat the gas, causing it to glow, forming beautiful, sinuous structures. These are precisely what we see in the Hubble image.
