NGC1333 - star formation caught in the act

NGC1333 is a reflection nebula surrounding an active star forming region at the southern border of the Perseus constellation next to Aries and Taurus. It is located at a distance of about 1000 lyr. It contains some 150 stars that formed less or about 1 million years ago, and thus also contains about 20 young stellar objects producing outflows, so is a very interesting region to study. Not surprisingly, NGC1333 thus has also been targeted by IR satellites such as the Spitzer observatory. The combination of the blue reflection nebula, the red color stars owing to the high extinction and dark molecular clouds makes NGC 1333 a very pleasing colorful object.

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.
