Description:
The reflection nebula NGC 1333, also known as LBN 741 or Ced 16, is located in the constellation of Perseus and is a part of the Perseus OB2 molecular cloud complex. The amount of molecular dust in this area, roughly 1000 light years from Earth, is enough to trigger star formation. New stars pushing out of the dust can be seen as blood red Herbig-Haro objects around the center of the image. Herbig-Haro objects of which 36 have been identified in NGC1333, are patches of nebulosity ignited by plumes of gas jetting out of the young stars, merely a few hundred thousand years old. Total integration time of the image is 37 hours and 40 minutes.
