NASA’s space telescope captured the image of the young star cluster NGC 602, located around the Small Magellanic Cloud.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of the young star cluster NGC 602, located 200 thousand light years from Earth within the Small Magellanic Cloud.

According to the European Space Agency, the cluster is located in a nebula of multicolored gas and dust that forms dark ridges around it.

The image also shows many distant galaxies and bright stars closer to our planet. Due to the low abundance of heavy elements in its atmosphere, the conditions of NGC 602 are reminiscent of the early Universe, when the main elements were hydrogen and helium. New stars are actively forming in the cluster’s dense cloud of ionized gas.

Exploring this stellar region will allow astronomers to gain a deeper understanding of how stars form under conditions different from those found in our galaxy.

Earlier it was reported that the Hubble telescope captured a picture of an amazing phenomenon – an explosion in the double star system R Aquarii, located 700 light years from Earth.
