NGC1333 in Perseus
with 10" f/3.9 Astrograph
Uploaded 3/15/25

 

            
The entire region around
            NGC1333 is filled with a huge amount of dust and gas. Here, one
            can clearly see that this nebula sometimes called the "Embyro
            Nebula" is simply a well lit denser cloud in this dust.
            Of interest here are the deep red knots which are Herbig Haro
            Objects, and the Spitzer space telescope has found dozens of
            brown dwarfs in this knot of dust.
