Scattering of stars: a striking Hubble photograph of the Small Magellanic Cloud
NASA. HUBBLE TELESCOPE. LARGE FORMAT. A magnificent scattering of stars appears in this photograph as it is captured some 180,000 light-years from Earth in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The cluster, which lies in the constellation Tucana (Toucan), contains a multitude of stars, many of which are scattered in this striking image. As star clusters form from a single primordial cloud of gas and dust, all the stars they contain are roughly the same age. This makes them useful natural laboratories for astronomers to learn how stars form and evolve. 2021.
