HH30 link to pictures.

"Herbig-Haro objects, like HH 30, are luminous regions surrounding newborn stars (known as protostars). "

Scientific American was calling this thing a "hamburger in space". It is much better looking than any hamburger I have ever seen.

Do not struggle to see a basis for debate here, I just wanted to share the images. And object to it being called a hamburger.

This might be an example of German humor. A "Hamburger" is a resident of Hamburg (or an adjective for something from or typical of the place, ie. the hamburger steak). "HH" is also the code for the city of Hamburg (HansestadtHamburg or "Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg" in Englische, ). If you lived there HH would be the prefix on your car license plate.

As for the images, I like the ALMA one. It really shows the patty.

Looks like some sort of electrostatic discharge between two separated electrodes?
.. But wait! Oops! We already dealt with that one years ago, now!
My memory seems to have been polluted by reading too many of those types of posts!

Well it did not occur to me that a magazine called "Scientific American" would be a major employer of German comedians, but you learn something new every day.

From the aforecited magazine:

The Big Bounce Theory

It looks like that comedian is Phil Plait ("Bad Astronomy").

One of the most challenging objects to image is Baxendell's Unphotographical Nebula.

NGC 7088 = Ced 193, 21 hr 33.4 m, -0.23'.
Seen by J. Baxendell in 1880 as a very large diffuse nebulosity, 52' by 75', lying north of the globular cluster M2.
Confirmed visually J.L.E Dreyer (10 inch refractor) and listed by Cederblad, even though it seems not to exist.

​

It took a lot of effort and many hours of exposure but here it is.
