An unprecedented photograph of the object Herbig-Haro 46/47 combining radio observations from the Alma Observatory with much shorter wavelength photographs of visible light from ESO's New Technology Telescope. Alma observations (orange and green, lower right) of the newborn star reveal a large energetic jet moving away from us, hidden by the dust and gas in the nebula where the star was born. On the left side (in pink and purple) we see the visible part of the jet, partially flying towards us. Photo: European Southern Observatory (ESO)
