Here we again see DG Tau B, with bipolar jets and a central dark lane with reflected starlight at its edges. The dust lane of DG Tau B is much thicker than that in HH 30, indicating that dusty material is still falling onto the hidden star and disk. The bright jet extends a distance of 1000 AU away from the system.
