A starfield is shown featuring many stars in the center and many pillars of interstellar dust around the edges pointing toward the center. The main image is in infrared light, and a rollover image from Hubble shows the same scene in visible light. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.
图中显示的星空中央有许多恒星，边缘周围有许多指向中心的星际尘埃柱。主图为红外光图像，哈勃望远镜的翻转图像显示了可见光下的同一场景。有关更多详细信息，请参阅说明。
A star cluster is shown in and around a gas cloud that looks like an oyster. The rollover image shows the same cluster not only in visible light, but X-ray and infrared too. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

2021年05月16日 NGC 602 and Beyond Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA) – ESA/Hubble Collaboration Explanation: The clouds may look like an oyster, and the stars like pearls, but look beyond. Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies 5 million year young star cluster NGC 602. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is featured in this stunning Hubble image of the region. Fantastic ridges and swept back shapes strongly suggest that energetic radiation and shock waves from NGC 602’s massive young stars have eroded the dusty material and triggered a progression of star formation moving away from the cluster’s center. At the estimated distance of the Small Magellanic Cloud, the…
