Champagne flow

A Champagne Flow is an astrophysical event whereby an HII region created inside a molecular cloud from ionization due to a recently formed star (usually an O-star) expands outward until it reaches the interstellar medium, at which point the ionized hydrogen gas bursts outward like an uncorked champagne bottle. This event is also sometimes called a Blister.
