Herbig-Haro Jets in IC 5067 #EXPLORED

Herbig–Haro objects are small patches of nebulosity associated with newly born stars, and are formed when narrow jets of gas ejected by young stars collide with clouds of gas and dust nearby at speeds of several hundred kilometres per second.

 

The Pelican Nebula, IC 5070, has perhaps the most famous of these, HH 555.
