Over the past couple weeks, Hubble explored #StarrySights! ✨
These new Hubble images showcase the beauty, science, and cosmic activity that star clusters contain.

Now for the grand #StarrySights finale!
The last image in our star cluster celebration shows NGC 1850, about 160,000 light-years away.
It includes ultraviolet observations, which are ideal for detecting light from the hottest and youngest stars, as seen in this luminous view.

"Small" but mighty!
Inside the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way, is the star cluster NGC 376.
Seen in this #HubbleFriday view, NGC 376 is made of stars that are loosely bound together by gravity: https://go.nasa.gov/3BmGKoN

The destruction of a planet may sound like science fiction, but in this cluster of stars at our galaxy’s edge it may be exactly what happened! A white dwarf star likely snatched a planet from its host star & tore it apart with gravity. https://s.si.edu/2uUrtHz #StarrySights

#NASA #Hubble Captures Dual Views of an Unusual Star Cluster
While these two images may look dazzlingly different, they are actually pictures of the same cosmic object, NGC 1850. This 100 million-year-old globular cluster is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and is approximately 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado.

On the seventh day of #StarrySights #NASA #Hubble gave to me -- brilliant blue globular cluster NGC 2031 and its population of #Cepheid variable stars.

Shine bright like NGC 2031 💎
Hubble's next #StarrySights image shows a cluster that resides about 150,000 light-years from Earth in an extremely dense region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way.

Sometimes the stars that grow up together … stay together! This large infrared mosaic captured by our Spitzer telescope is a multigenerational “family portrait” of multiple clusters of stars born from the same dense clumps of gas and dust: https://go.nasa.gov/3VUQZbW #StarrySights

On the sixth day of #StarrySights #NASA #Hubble gave to me -- a splash of bright-blue stars tucked in clouds of crimson gas and dust.

The latest of our #StarrySights is tucked away in the top right corner of this new Hubble image!
KMHK 1231 is an open star cluster surrounded by plumes of crimson gas and dust where new stars may someday form.

Some massive star clusters shine bright for our Fermi telescope’s gamma-ray eyes due to the numerous fast-spinning pulsars they are likely to contain. This sky map highlights three of our galaxy’s largest globular clusters plus a few notable binary star systems. #StarrySights

Let’s go supergiant spotting!
This new #StarrySights image shows NGC 2002, an open star cluster 30 light-years across.
At its center, you can spy red supergiants – massive stars that are fusing helium after exhausting their hydrogen fuel: https://go.nasa.gov/3isScZs

#StarrySights & starry sounds!
This is a data sonification of the star cluster Caldwell 73. Scientists assigned sounds to different aspects of the image for a new way of experiencing the information in it!
