HH 45 is a region within the Running Man Nebula, which is part of the larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.
The Running Man Nebula, also known as NGC 1977, is a reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion. It gets its name from its appearance, which resembles a running figure.
HH 45 specifically refers to a Herbig-Haro object, which is a type of astronomical object formed by the interaction of a young stellar object (like a protostar) with the surrounding gas and dust.
