NGC 1333 Nebula
NGC 1333 in Perseus
is a bright reflection nebula in the western part of the Perseus Molecular Cloud.
The many, fiery-red, Herbig-Haro objects indicate very active star forming regions.
As such, NGC 1333 contains hundreds of stars less than 1,000,000 years old–very young in astronomical terms.
At only 1,000 light-years from Earth, it was discovered in 1855 by German astronomer, Eduard Schönfeld.
NGC 1333 is also designated LBN 741 (Lynd's Bright Nebula), vdB 17 (van den Bergh), and, The Embryo Nebula (unrelated to IC 1848 Embryo/Soul).
This is a collaboration with my friend and imager extraordinaire, Bernard Miller whom I'm grateful to for data acquisition.
