Scientific paper

The sudden appearance of a highly variable, conical nebula (Object 50) 1.5 arcmin south of a 250 solar luminosity infrared source in the southern part of the L1641 cloud in Orion is reported. The nebula coincides with the edge of the approaching lobe of a 100,000-yr-old bipolar molecular outflow. Variability of the infrared source generates light pulses observed to propagate through the surrounding ambient cloud, producing a fluctuating illumination pattern. This emission may represent the first optical radiation to have emerged from this newborn star.
