Here's another couple of images of HH1-2. The first shows what we can see with several visible narrowband filters, and the second is with near-infrared narrowband filters. The infrared data are Nisini's observations from just two days ago!

Two jets of material emanate from the center of the image. They are colored red, yellow, green, and white in representation of various emission lines.
Two jets of material emanate from the center of the image. More faint clouds are visible in this image, and the colors vary from blueish white where more emission is present to a dusty brown where clouds are thicker. Several bright stars are marked with sharp, x-shaped diffraction spikes.

Here's a blink animation to make it easier to see the differences. I love that we can *just* barely begin to see the base of the lower left jet through the obscuring dust in infrared, and all of these little stars begin to show up.
