Abstract

Recent observations with wide field-of-view CCDs have shown that over 20 Herbig-Haro flows extend for more than one parsec from their driving sources. We review the observed properties of these giant HH flows and discuss the physical consequences for star formation, and for the physics and chemistry of the surrounding interstellar medium.
