Hubble's 33rd Anniversary Reveals Stunning Star Birth Observations.
TL;DR
To celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's launch, NASA has released a stunning image of the dark nebula NGC 1333, located approximately 960 light-years away in the Perseus molecular cloud. The image shows several hundred newly forming stars embedded within the dark cloud, which is filled with obscuring dust. The image offers a glimpse into the chaotic and messy star-formation process, revealing that stars are not born in isolation but in batches, built from cold interstellar hydrogen that is laced with soot-like dust.
