Scientific paper

A very large-scale and high-velocity bipolar outflow emanating from the luminous FU Orionis star Z CMa is discovered. Its total extent is 3.6 pc and the emitting gas reaches radial velocities of up to -620 km/s. The outflow is traced by a jet and at least 15 Herbig-Haro objects which are approximately aligned along the same axis. Z CMa is so far the most luminous young stellar object for which an optical jet has been reported.
