Caption: Figure 10.

Cartoon showing the major elements of the OMC1 outflow. Dashed red and blue lines illustrate the high-velocity streamers. Dashed yellow-orange lines mark the locations of the most prominent H2 fingers; the solid orange line shows the bubble of low-velocity red- and blueshifted ejecta fan toward the northwest. Solid red and blue lines show the red- and blueshifted bubbles of ejecta extending to the east and southeast. The solid orange region bounded by a solid red line shows the young Source I flow. The relative locations of Source I, n, and BN, their proper motions, and suspected orientations of their disks are also illustrated, but not to scale.
