The discovery of an exceptionally fine jet, HH111, emerging from a young star still embedded in the Orion molecular clouds, is reported. The jet system displays four bow-shock-like features moving in pairs in opposite directions from a 25-solar luminosity infrared source. With an extent of more than 0.8 parsec, HH111 is the largest bipolar Herbig-Haro flow known. It is argued that such jets are highly transient phenomena that are related to eruptive accretion events in the buildup of the central star.
