NASA has shared an amazing photo of the nursery of stars. It can be seen as a reflection nebula. These nebulae form when a cloud of dust near a star scatters or reflects its light. NASA has shared this amazing photo as Astronomy Picture of the Day for April 22. This view of the nursery of stars is so beautiful that it becomes difficult to believe.

Regarding the nebula, the space agency further said that in visible light NGC 1333 Visible as a reflection nebula. It is located at a distance of 1000 light years from the Perseus constellation. It is said to be present at the very edge near the molecular cloud of the forming wire.

NASA has captured this photo from Hubble Space Telescope. The dust cloud seen here may be made of gas coming out of the forming stars. The NGC 1333 stellar nursery contains hundreds of stars, some of which are only a million years old. Here many stars are said to be covered under dust.

Regarding this environment, NASA says that it is exactly the same as our Sun would have created 4.5 billion years ago. Apart from this, this image has also been described as special because it has been released on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the launch of the Space Telescope.
