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 ...
HH 46/47 is a complex of Herbig–Haro objects (HH objects), located around 450 parsecs (about 1,470 light-years) away in a Bok globule near the Gum nebula. Jets of partially ionized gas emerging from a young star produce visible shocks upon impact with the ambient medium. Discovered in 1977, it is one of the most studied HH objects and the ...
HH 30 was published by George Herbig in 1974 in the "Draft Catalog of Herbig–Haro Objects" and notes: "HH-30 (4h 28m 44s) is a small, almost stellar spot 2' south of XZ and HL Tau. There is a fainter nebulosity immediately northeast.
HH 1/2 are among the brightest Herbig-Haro objects in the sky and consist of a pair of oppositely oriented bow shocks, separated by 2.5 arcminutes (a projected separation of about 1.1 light year). The HH 1/2 pair were the first Herbig-Haro objects with detected proper motion [6] and HH 2 was the first Herbig-Haro object to be detected in x-rays ...

HH 24-26 is a molecular cloud and star-forming region containing the Herbig-Haro objects HH 24, HH 25 and HH 26. This region contains the highest concentration of astrophysical jets known anywhere in the sky. [2]
Mystic Mountain contains multiple Herbig–Haro objects where nascent stars are firing off jets of gas which interact with surrounding clouds of gas and dust. [2] [3] This region is about 7,500 light-years (2,300 parsecs) away from Earth. The pillar measures around three light-years in height (190,000 astronomical units). [1]
HH 111 is a Herbig-Haro object in the L1617 dark cloud of the Orion B molecular cloud [2] in the constellation of Orion. It is a prototype of a highly collimated optical jet sources. It shows several bow shocks and has a length of about 2.6 light-years (0.8 parsec). [3]
