Description

From the first time I saw an image of NGC 1333, a dark, mysterious reflection nebula whose foreboding  furnace is the birthplace of stars, I was determined to image it myself.  A 'mere' thousand light years from Earth, its blue hue comes from starlight reflecting from the pervasive dust lanes and the red emission from Herbig-Haro objects, jets of glowing gas emanating from recently formed stars, provide us with this fascinating image.
