I’m starstruck by this new #JWST image of one of my favorite astronomical objects 🤩
Herbig-Haro 46/47 is a pair of jets launched by young stars, embedded in a dark nebula.
The binary stars responsible for the jets shine brightly in the middle of the image, seen as one point of light with red diffraction spikes.
The two-sided orange lobes were created by earlier outflows. More recent ejections appear as a blue line in the center of the lobes.

1. At the center is a thin horizontal orange cloud known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 that is uneven with rounded ends, and tilted from bottom left to top right. At its center is a set of very large red diffraction spikes in Webb’s eight-pointed pattern. At the middle of the diffraction spikes is a yellow-white blob, which hides two tightly orbiting stars. The orange lobe to the left is fatter, ending in a rounder edge. Overall, this lobe is more continuous, though there’s an absence of matter toward the bottom center. Just off the edge of this lobe is a tiny red arc that curves in the opposite direction and is fully separated from the lobe. The right lobe is thinner overall, and ends in a smaller orange semi-circle that has a faint purple outline. Just off the edge of this lobe, also fully separated, is a slightly smaller orange blob. A thin, undulating blue line runs from the central stars through the right lobe, and a fainter one is partially covered by the red diffraction spike. A delicate, semi-transparent blue cloud known as a nebula covers the majority of the orange lobes. It extends toward the top and fades to the left, not extending beyond the left lobe.
