Beauty in Nature - "Pinwheel" star system

Check out an article with pictures of the first observed 'pinwheel star system,' which has two massive stars in a binary orbit, with a third star orbiting the binary system. As the stars shed gas, the orbital motions stir the gas up and causes it to circulate at different speed, creating the beautiful scene that was captured by astronomers for the first time.

Just some cosmic, natural artwork, courtesy of Newton's laws of gravity and motion!'
