Stardust in Perseus
In this picture we can see many beautiful stars slightly covered with a dust. This cosmic dust is a gas that covers the sky near the constellation Perseus, also known as hero. In this picture we can also see NGC 1333, this nebula is only around 1,000 light-years away. Next to this nebula we can see again another dust, this time a reddish glow. This is hydrogen gas created by energetic jets also from stars winds, the process from how they are created. Along the edges of these gases and clouds there are a lot of newly formed stars, that is how the gas got there, from the stars when they formed. This picture helps explain how stars are formed by giving us the gas that is produced from there formation and how far away they are from this gas.
