✨“We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.”✨ Today we remember planetary scientist Carl Sagan on his birthday. ⁣ ⁣ Within a galaxy hosting around 300 billion stars, here NASAHubble has captured a mere handful or two. These stars fall within NGC 1333, located about 1,000 light-years away in the constellation of Perseus. The cool gas and dust concentrated in this region is generating new stars whose light is then reflecting off the surrounding material, lighting it up and making this object’s lingering presence known to us.⁣ ⁣ #NASA #Hubble #Space #Stars #Astronomy #CarlSaganDay
