Description

Van den Bergh (VdB) 13 (upper right) and VdB 16 (left) is pair of reflection nebulae nested in the Constellation of Aries, right next to the popular seasonal target NGC1333. The pair immersed inside the rich molecular cloud and lights up a portion of it. There are also numerous LDN/LBN/Bernard objects in the Field-of-view. It's fascinating to review the dusty dark side of the universe.
