#UMPlus - Bernes 149 by JJ Pérez Guy
https://www.universomagico.net/2023/01/bernes-149-por-jj-perez-guy.html
Bernes 149 is a very dense dark cloud located in the direction of the border between the constellations of Scorpius and Lupus that is at a distance of about 550 light years from the Solar System. Infrared observations have shown a large number of protostars inside the dark cloud. protostars are stars so young that they are still wrapped in the cocoon of material from.....

#UMPlus - Caldwell 47 globular cluster
https://www.universomagico.net/2023/01/cumulo-globular-caldwell-47.html
This image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows Caldwell 47, a shimmering globular cluster, in all its glory. Star clusters like this circle our galaxy like bees buzzing around a hive. Open clusters lightly crowded in the center are often found scattered throughout the galactic disk, a relatively flat area that includes most of the galaxy's contents, including the.....
