As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by the observatory.

The HH 1 and HH 2 objects themselves are located about 1,250 light-years from Earth.

HH 1 is seen as the cloud shining above the bright star in the upper right corner of this image, and HH 2 as the cloud in the lower left corner.

Although both Gerbig-Aro objects are visible in the image, the young star system responsible for creating them is covered in thick dust clouds at the center of this image.

In the photo you can see a stream of gas flowing in the form of a bright jet from the dark cloud at the center of one of these stars. A bright star between this jet and the HH 1 cloud was once thought to be the source of these jets, but is now known to be an unrelated binary star forming nearby.

Gerbig-Aro objects are small areas of nebulae associated with young stars. They are formed when gas ejected by them interacts with surrounding clouds of gas and dust at speeds of several hundred kilometers per second. Gerbig-Aro objects are characteristic of star forming regions; they are sometimes observed near single stars that extend along their rotational axes.
