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

A collection of star clusters imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope
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

A #StarrySights stunner! π
Welcome to NGC 1850, a star cluster about 160,000 light-years away in a satellite galaxy to our own Milky Way, known as the Large Magellanic Cloud.

#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 π
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.

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.
Open cluster KMHK 1231 is a group of stars loosely bound by gravity. Seen in the upper left of this Hubble Space Telescope image, this cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud is surrounded by a crimson nebula of gas and dust extending both to the right and downward, where new stars may someday form.
