Description

The Perseus Molecular Cloud is a giant molecular cloud located 600 light years from Earth in the constellation Perseus. It contains more than 10,000 solar masses of gas and dust. Unlike Orion's molecular cloud, it is nearly invisible except for two clusters including NGC 1333 visible at the top right of the image, where low mass stars are formed. It is very bright in the mid- and far-infrared as well as in the sub-millimeter wavelengths from dust heated by newly formed low-mass stars.
