This is a video tour of the nebula NGC 1333 that lies on the edge of a gigantic dark cloud of cold molecular hydrogen laced with soot-like dust. This raw material fuels a firestorm of star birth taking place inside the dusty cocoon. Parts of it have broken through the veil of dust for the Hubble Space Telescope to see nascent stars that are creating a fireworks show.
