Abstract

Beneath the familiar surface of the Orion Nebula is a spectacular molecular hydrogen outflow from a young stellar object, of very unusual morphology. In this paper I briefly discuss this outflow, its possible origins, and its interaction with the Nebula.

Keywords: ISM: jets and outflows — ISM: individual (OMC-1) — stars: formation — stars: pre-main sequence — stars: winds, outflows — H &Igr; &Igr; regions
