Description
HH34 region is a faint emission region in Orion containing the "Waterfall", an arc-shapped Herbig-Haro object shown in the upper portion of this image. This is a composite image of 5 nm Astrodon H-a (mapped to green), 3 nm OIII (blue), 5 nm SII (red) and RGB. There are several HH objects in this image. Herbig-Haro objects are luminous shock waves of outflowing jets from young stars that move at speeds of hundrreds of km/s and ionize the surrounding interstellar gas. Actually the arc structure is HH222 and the little patch at the 10 o’clock position near the bottom of the waterfall is HH34.
