Stunning image of reflection nebula NGC 1333 in Perseus, showcasing its blue glow from dust reflecting starlight and red jets from young stars. Hundreds of stars less than a million years old are hidden within the thick dust clouds. Captured by the Mayall 4-meter telescope at Kitt Peak. A tribute to astronomer Stephen Strom.
