This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Starbirth in NGC 1333, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. Herbig-Haro objects (blue, upper left) formed following the birth of a star in the nebula NGC 1333. Herbig-Haro objects are formed when jets of ionised gas ejected by a young star collide with nearby clouds of gas and dust at high speeds. These ones were formed when the jets from the newborn star SVS 13 collided with the surrounding clouds, creating the five brilliant clumps of light seen within the reflection nebula. NGC 1333 is around 1000 light years from Earth, in the constellation of Perseus. Image data obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. Image published in 2018.
