Scientific paper

Infrared photography was used to study the main star-forming region of the Orion nebula. A report is presented on the discovery of a complex of Herbig-Haro (HH) objects and associated wakes. These objects required the ejection of compact knots of material over a wide opening angle in what appears to have been an explosive event. Observations suggest that HH objects may represent the shocking of dense clumps of material ejected into the surrounding molecular cloud. The need to establish the frequency of such events by searching other star-forming systems is emphasized.
