I just saw something on TV talking about pictures the James Webb telescope took of the “Cosmic Cliffs”, and it mentioned stellar winds shaping the dust clouds of the nebula.
I thought gravity was kind of the only mover of stuff in space. Now there’s wind in space?

Stellar winds are jets of charged particles from the star. They’re the same as Solar winds, it’s just that “stellar” is the generic term whereas solar is only the sun.
They’re not winds as in the movement of air. We call them that because they move in ways analogous to wind.
