This 4-image panel shows excerpts of some of the features of the MHO 2147 stellar jet. The upper right panel shows the center of the jet where the pale pink areas are nebulae that may contain young massive stars, surrounded by accretion disks, which eject matter to create a cavity. In the other panels, the blue areas are diffuse clouds of molecular hydrogen excited by the collision between surrounding matter and matter ejected by individual stars. © International Gemini Observatory, NOIRLab, NSF, AURA
