Re: Found Images: 2013 August
Looking through the HLA I noticed there were 3 different images of HH-1 and HH-2 so I figured an animation must have already been made and I was surprised that I had never seen this before. This is HH-1. Someone else took the ESA release and put it on YouTube which I'm just embedding for convenience here. The original ESA release is here: http://www.spacetelescope.org/videos/heic1113g/ And HH-2 is here. Hmm, HH-1 and HH-2 are actually two jets coming from presumably the same star. I wonder why there is no video of the pair together?

Just call me "geck" because "zilla" is like a last name.

Oh, nice. I thought it was an abstract painting before reading the description.

Re: Found Images: 2013 August
The other really cool thing about HH 1 and HH 2 is that they contain OIII emission, very rare for Herbig Haro objects where Ha and SII are the predominant lines. Also you can see some videos of the motion of HH 1 and HH 2 on the website of astronomer Patrick Hartigan: http://sparky.rice.edu/movies.htmlgeckzilla wrote:Looking through the HLA I noticed there were 3 different images of HH-1 and HH-2 so I figured an animation must have already been made and I was surprised that I had never seen this before.

Fresh from the HubbleSite news center. You know you want to feature a cosmic caterpillar.

Ah the famous "scorched tadpole"! This is one of many proplyds associated with the Cygnus OB2 association. It looks red in true colour.geckzilla wrote:Fresh from the HubbleSite news center. You know you want to feature a cosmic caterpillar.

I don't know if he'll cross post this here but I will! Posted last night to the APOD Submissions Flickr feed. I can't stop playing it over and over looking for satellites and just gazing at the Milky Way. It is imperative that you view it at fullscreen and in HD.
