Photograph of a star cluster
Low estimate
High estimate
(NASA. GRAND FORMAT. TELESCOPE HUBBLE) This week's photograph shows an open star cluster that was discovered in 1826 by a Scottish astronomer named James Dunlop. This cluster is located in one of the Milky Way's closest neighbors, the satellite galaxy known as the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Large Magellanic Cloud is a relatively small galaxy around 160,000 light-years from Earth. It is considered a satellite galaxy because it is gravitationally linked to the Milky Way. In fact, the Large Magellanic Cloud is on a very slow collision course with the Milky Way - it is predicted that they will collide in 2.4 billion years. 2021.period chromogenic print.
