'''HH-32''' is a [[Herbig–Haro object]] found in the [[constellation]] of [[Aquila]].<ref>[http://hubblesite.org/image/902/news/3-nebulae HH 32] from hubblesite.org</ref> It is the green/blue nebula at the top of the image. It is formed when jets of [[gas]] from the [[star]] hit other gas and [[dust]] that produce shockwaves in the gas.<ref name=annesastronomynews.com>[http://annesastronomynews.com/photo-gallery-ii/nebulae-clouds/herbig-haro-32-hh-32/ Herbig-Haro 32] from annesastronomynews.com</ref> This creates [[heat]], which causes [[hydrogen]] [[atom]]s to glow green and [[sulfur]] atoms to glow blue.

==Properties and Structure==
The star at the centre of this Herbig-Haro object is catalogued as AS 353A.<ref name=annesastronomynews.com/> The jets are almost aligned along our line of sight, with the length of the two jets totalling around 0.54 [[light year]]s. The jet closest to us is about 0.2 light years long and bi=righter than the other. This may be because the other jet is ejecting less material or it is obscured by gas and dust surrounding the star.
