| 6 March 2014 NGC 1333 can be seen as a reflection nebula in visible light, only 1,000 light-years away from the constellation Perseus, lying at the edge of a large, star-forming molecular cloud. This image spans about two full moons, showing detail of the dusty region along with hints of bluish reflected starlight, contrasted red emission from Herbig-Haro objects, jets and shocked glowing gas originating from recently formed stars. NGC 1333 contains hundreds of stars less than a million years old. |
