NGC 1333 Reflection Nebula

NGC 1333 is a region towards the constellation of Perseus that harbors newly formed stars that are less than 1 million years old. The density of gas and dust in this region is great enough to cause many different effects of illumination and emission. On the left side of this image the light of bright star is scattered and looks primarily blue. Other stars barely make there presence known due to the enveloping clouds of gas and dust. There are also several stellar outflows from the baby stars in this image and regions where the gas is glowing strongly red due to the copious amount of radiation some of these stars release.
