Description

Hello! Hope you like this very different place of the sky...near Orion we have a "giant flow" called Herbig Haro 222 region...hope you enjoy this blended image (Subaru Telescope 659 nm for Ha - cleaned all the tiny defects (bkg and stars) one by one) + Liverpool Telescope HaGB for color indexation + a little bit of imagination :-)

Liitle text from Wikipedia:

Herbig–Haro (HH) objects are bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars. They are formed when narrow jets of partially ionised gas ejected by stars collide with nearby clouds of gas and dust at several hundred kilometres per second. Herbig–Haro objects are commonly found in star-forming regions, and several are often seen around a single star, aligned with its rotational axis. Most of them lie within about one parsec (3.26 light-years) of the source, although some have been observed several parsecs away. HH objects are transient phenomena that last around a few tens of thousands of years. They can change visibly over timescales of a few years as they move rapidly away from their parent star into the gas clouds of interstellar space (the interstellar medium or ISM). Hubble Space Telescope observations have revealed the complex evolution of HH objects over the period of a few years, as parts of the nebula fade while others brighten as they collide with the clumpy material of the interstellar medium.

Enjoy :-)
