Herbig-Haro objects are luminous regions surrounding newborn stars that form when stellar winds or jets of gas spew from these infant stars creating shockwaves that collide with nearby gas and dust at high speeds.

The outflows are visible as gracefully curving structures at the top and bottom of this image.

Their interaction with the large-scale flow of gas and dust from the core of the nebula distorts them into sinuous curves.

The Orion Nebula is a dynamic region of dust and gas where thousands of stars are forming.

It is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth, making it one of the most scrutinized areas of the night sky and often a target for the Hubble Space Telescope.
