 The Waterfall Nebula, or HH-222, is a 10-light-year-long gaseous filament resembling a cascading waterfall, located ~1,500 light-years away in the Orion Molecular Cloud. As a Herbig-Haro object (HH), it is likely a high-speed jet outflow from a young star or binary system, interacting with surrounding gas.

 HH 222 (also known as the Waterfall Nebula and Orion Streamers) is a prominent Herbig–Haro object located in the Orion molecular cloud complex. It is characterized by its elongated, cascade-like structure resembling a flowing waterfall, formed by ionized gas streams interacting with surrounding molecular clouds.
