Cosmic Spotlights: Herbig-Haro Jets and the Birth of Stars

In this episode we explore Herbig-Haro objects—the glowing shock fronts produced when newborn stars launch fast jets into their surrounding gas. We trace their discovery, uncover how these jets form and interact with the interstellar medium, and learn what these dynamic features reveal about the early lives of stars — plus how amateur observers can catch changes on human timescales.
