An unusual group of stars in the Orion constellation have revealed their secrets! 🌌 The double star system FU Orionis (and the class of stars named after it) has long been a mystery. Astronomers have been seeking answers to how and why these young stars flare suddenly, erupting in brightness, before dimming again many years later. Now, thanks to new observations from ALMA Observatory, we have finally found an answer to how these young outbursting stars replenish their mass. https://lnkd.in/dp9is7CK
