“South of Orion” is copyrighted by Panther Observatory. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteJust south of the famous Orion Nebula lies this collection of nebulae and young stars. The graceful arc of HH 222, also called the Waterfall Nebula, is a shock wave created by energetic outflows from a newborn star. This region is full of such Herbig-Haro objects, where young stars push through surrounding material at high speeds.
