Herbig–Haro (HH) objects are bright patches of nebulosity associated with newborn stars that form when narrow jets of partially ionized gas ejected by stars collide with nearby clouds of gas and dust

The head is almost transparent around the edges at near infrared wavelengths, but there is still a substantial opaque core which even these near infrared VLT observations cannot penetrate. The complex bluish nebulosity bisected by a dark lane near the tip is being lit up by the bright yellow star just below it, which appears to be very young and rather massive. Several of
