NGC 1333 is a reflection nebula located 1,000 lightyears away in the constellation Perseus.
The nebula lies on the edge of a large star-forming region and contains hundreds of stars that are as young as less than one million years old.
The glow from these scorching hot young stars is what illuminates NGC 1333 and makes it such a beautiful deep-sky target to observe and photograph.
NGC 1333 was discovered by by German astronomer Eduard Schönfeld in 1855.
