Herbig-Haro Jet HH 24 | Milky Way Wall Art Size:COSMIC (32 x 48) 2-metre imageLying inside our home galaxy, the Milky Way, this HerbigHaro object is a turbulent birthing ground for new stars in a region known as the Orion B molecular cloud complex, located 1,350 light years away. HerbigHaro (HH) objects are bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars that form when narrow jets of partially ionized gas ejected by stars collide with nearby clouds of gas and dust.
