NGC 7129 is a star forming region located in Cepheus constellation, 3300 light years from us. Several Herbig Haro objects are visible in this nebula. Herbig-Haro objects are small emission nebulae found around young developing stars (protostars) and which are believed to be transient in their nature, for they only exist for a few thousand years.
