Herbig-Haro jet HH 24, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. This star has formed in a starbirth region known as the Orion B molecular cloud complex. This is 1350 light years from Earth in the constellation of Orion. Just to the right of the cloaked star, the bright points are young stars that are shining through and clearing the area around them with their powerful radiation. This optical and infrared image was obtained with the HST's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) sensors. Image published in 2015.
