* Figure 18-16 A Magnetic Model for Bipolar Outflow (a) Observations suggest that circumstellar accretion disks are threaded by magnetic field lines, as shown here. (b), (c) The contraction and rotation of the disk make the magnetic field lines distort and twist into helices. These helices steer some of the disk material into jets that stream perpendicular to the plane of the disk, as in Figure 18-15. (Adapted from Alfred T. Kamajian/Thomas P. Ray, “Fountain of Youth: Early Days in the Life of a Star,” Scientific American, August 2000) * Figure 18-17 A Star Cluster with an H II Region The star cluster M16 is thought to be no more than 800,000 years old, and star formation is still taking place within adjacent dark, dusty globules. The inset shows three dense, cold pillars of gas and dust silhouetted against the glowing background of the red emission nebula (called the Eagle Nebula for its shape). The pillar at the upper left extends about 0.3 parsec (1 light-year) from base to tip, and each of its “fingers” is somewhat broader than our entire solar system. (Anglo-Australian Observatory; J.

It lies about 800 pc (2600 l
