The space object is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) galaxy, located approximately 162,000 light years from Earth.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a star cluster known as NGC 1841, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 162,000 light-years away. This was reported by the ESA Observatory.

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is known as a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way galaxy.

Satellite galaxies are galaxies that are gravitationally bound in orbit around a larger parent galaxy.

Dozens of satellite galaxies orbit the Milky Way, which is located closer than the well-known Andromeda. The largest and brightest of these is Ursa Major, which is easily visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere (although it is becoming less common due to light pollution).

Ursa Major is home to many globular star clusters. They are located between open clusters, which are less dense and less connected, and compact galaxies.

Globular star clusters are diverse and complex. However, scientists still do not know how they are formed.

“There are certain patterns for all globular clusters: they are very stable, so they can last a long time, which means they can be very old. a celestial “fossil” “How fossils provide insight into early development of life on Earth, globular clusters like NGC 1841 can provide insight into very early star formation in galaxies,” the report said.

It was previously reported that the Hubble telescope discovered a star-forming region known as IRAS 16562-3959.
