Description

NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula located in the northern constellation Perseus, positioned next to the southern constellation border with Taurus and Aries.

This huge area of interstellar dust, molecular and gas clouds is roughly 760 light years apart from us. Due to its high matter density compared to the rest of our vacuum filled universe, this is the perfect place for new stars to be born. Ionized hydrogen gas glowing in deep red, yellow, orange and blue starlight as well as their outbursts and outflows due to rapid formation, illuminate this whole complex and turn it into a vivid colorful scene. It’s almost as if you could see a three dimensional shape due to the shading of the opaque dust clouds.
NOTE: I got some bad subs so processing a new version 😊
