Celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope’s 33rd launch anniversary with an ethereal photo of a nearby star-forming region, NGC 1333!

This nebula is in the Perseus molecular cloud, approximately 960 light-years away. Hubble’s colorful view, showcased through its unique capability to obtain images from ultraviolet to near-infrared light, unveils an effervescent cauldron of glowing gasses and ferocious stellar winds that likely come from the bright blue star at the top of the image.

Hubble just scratches the surface—most of the star formation firestorm is hidden behind clouds of fine dust. The bottom of the picture presents a peek deep into the dark nebula. Hubble captures the reddish glow of ionized hydrogen, which looks like a fireworks finale with several overlapping events. This is caused by pencil-thin jets shooting out from newly forming stars, many below this field of view.

Hubble was deployed into a low Earth orbit on April 25, 1990, by astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. To date, the telescope has taken approximately 1.6 million observations of nearly 52,000 celestial targets.
