NGC1333 (Embryo Nebula) + L1450/B205 (Perseus Dark Cloud)

A beautiful reflection nebula, NGC1333 is dominated by bluish hues characteristic of starlight reflected by interstellar dust. It lies at the edge of the Perseus molecular cloud complex, an active star-forming region located only 1,000 light-years from Earth.

Barnard 205 is the dark nebula that surrounds the Embryo Nebula and if you look closely, just to the left of the blue Embryo Nebula, you will see several bright red Herbig-Haro objects - regions where stars are actively being formed. Barnard 204 is the dark dust cloud surrounding the blue nebula in the upper left and Barnard 3 is the dark nebula in the upper right, with a curtain of glowing hydrogen and oxygen that extends downward from behind it.

Wishing you clear skies! 🔭

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
