NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has observed a spectacular stellar jet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, described as a "volcanically growing monster star." The jet, stretching eight light-years, resembles Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber and originates from a young protostar located 15,000 light-years away.

Researchers indicate that this remarkable outflow is rare, suggesting that larger parent stars may produce more substantial cosmic explosions. The Webb telescope continues to redefine our understanding of stellar formation and the dynamics of the universe.
