The most direct approach to the suggested relationship of Bok globules to star formation is to search for actual spots of star birth in or around them. But no protostellar objects have hitherto been found by infrared and/or radio observations. Optically relevant to this are the discoveries of some Herbig-Haro objects and pre-main sequence stars associated with cometary globules inside the Gum Nebula (Reipurth 1983).
