Stellar Nursery NGC 1333 |

About This Photograph
This is a region of active star formation, one of the most studied in the sky. The bright blue nebula is technically what is known as NGC 1333, while the dark cloud to the lower left is known as Barnard 205. Embedded within this vast cloud of gas and dust are new stars springing to life, marked by the tell-tale red glow of ionized hydrogen gas.
