Hubble Telescope's Stunning 33-Year Journey in Photos

The Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 33rd launch anniversary by capturing a stunning new photo of NGC 1333, a reflection nebula located 960 light-years away in the Perseus molecular cloud. The image showcases hundreds of newly forming stars embedded within the dark cloud, which is filled with obscuring dust. The photo also highlights the ferocious stellar winds sweeping through the nebula's clouds of dust, likely caused by the bright blue star at the top of the image, and a reddish glow representing hydrogen ionized by young stars.
