Hubble images remarkable double cluster - space

Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of our neighbouring dwarf galaxies, this young globular-like star cluster is surrounded by a pattern of filamentary nebulosity that is thought to have been created during supernova blasts. It consists of a main globular cluster in the centre and a younger, smaller cluster, seen below and to the right, composed of extremely hot, blue stars and fainter, red T-Tauri stars. This wide variety of stars allows a thorough study of star formation processes.\r\n\r\n\r\nCredit:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nESA, NASA and Martino Romaniello (European Southern Observatory, Germany)\r\n
