We report on the discovery of an optical jet with a striking morphology in the Rosette Nebula. It could be the most extreme case known of an accretion disk and jet system directly exposed to strong ionization fields that impose strong effects on disk evolution. Unlike typical optical flows, this jet system is found to have a high excitation nature mainly due to disruptive interaction with the violent environment. As a result, the extension of the highly collimated jet and possible former episodes of the degenerated counterjet all show bow-shocked structures. Our results provide implications on how incipience of massive stars in giant molecular clouds prevents further generations of low-mass star formation, and possibly also how isolated substellar/planetary-mass objects in regions of massive star formation are formed.
