This image shows Herbig-Haro 30 (HH 30), a young star surrounded by a thin, dark disk and emitting powerful gaseous jets. The central star is hidden from direct view by the optical thick edge on disk, but its light reflects off the upper and lower surfaces of the disk to produce the pair of reddish nebulae. The gas jets are shown in green.
