I noticed a discrepancy concerning events that contradict the absolute speed of light in a vacuum. In the link saying "opposing jets are blasting out" we find that on February 2014, Herbig-Haro 24 was some 1,500 light-years away. In today's APOD we learn that H-H 24 is 1,300 light-years away. That means in just under 2 years, H-H 24 has traveled almost 200 light-years closer to Earth! Shouldn't this take 200 years even if H-H 24 were traveling at the speed of light? My Gawd, at this rate Herbig-Hero 24 will arrive at Earth in about 13 years!
