The #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope took a beautiful picture of the star-forming region NGC 346, a young cluster of stars located 200,000 light-years away, which could give us a glimpse of the early universe.

From November 28, 2022 through December 9, 2022, the #HubbleSpaceTelecsope is exploring views of different types of #StarClusters.
This image of #StarCluster #Pismis26 is #Hubble’s first new #StarrySights image!

#Pismis26 is located in the #Constellation #Scorpius near the galactic bulge, which is an area near the center of our #Galaxy that holds a dense, spheroidal grouping of #Stars that surrounds a #BlackHole. Astronomers recently used #Hubble to study visible & infrared light from Pismis 26 to determine the #Cluster's reddening, age, & metallicity.

The #HubbleSpaceTelescope released this glittering gathering of #Stars, called #Pismis26, a globular #StarCluster located about 23,000 light-years away from #Earth. Many thousands of stars gleam brightly against the black backdrop of the image, with some brighter red and blue stars located along the outskirts of the #Cluster.

One of my very favorite #starclusters to view with my small telescopes. Beautiful in my 6 inch f/5 RFT.
