The fan-like nebulosity is clearly visible in this image from the ESO 3.6-m telescope. The powerful jets emitted by the X-ray binary (which itself is too faint to see in this image) crash into the interstellar medium. Because this X-ray binary is moving quickly through space, it has a fast proper motion and drags these 'impact points' along with it. This leaves two long 'trails' behind: the two stripes of emission seen running diagonally across the image, (c) K.
