NASA shares magnificent picture of 5 million years young star cluster named 'NGC 602'

NASA shared an im of "5 million years young and dazzling star cluster" on its official Instagram account on January 16. US ncy shared im with a caption stating that colour of a star is directly linked to its surface temperature. NASA said that hotter star, shorter wavelength of light it will emit. " hottest of stars are blue or blue-white and cooler ones are red or red-brown," it ded.

Near outskirts of Small Mllanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy about 200 thousand light-years away, lies this 5 million years young and dazzling star cluster is kwn as NGC 602. Inside star cluster, bright, blue, newly formed stars are blowing a cavity in this nebula, sculpting inner edge of its outer portions, slowly eroding it away and eating into material beyond."

NASA shares stunning im of spiral galaxy

Earlier on January 15, NASA shared a spellbinding photograph of cosmos barred spiral galaxy, kwn for its central bar-shaped structure which is composed of a myri of stars. Taking to its official Instagram handle, ncy wrote, “At a distance of 67 million light-years away, NGC 613 is a stunning example of a barred spiral galaxy. It’s easy to distinguish galaxy as such because of its well-defined central bar and long arms, which spiral loosely around nucleus.” 

According to NASA, NGC 613 galaxy was first discovered in 1798 by German-English astromer William Herschel. galaxy was observed by amateur astromer Victor Buso while he was testing a new camera on a telescope in 2016. A curious spot of light caught his eye which was originating out of a superva in sourn constellation of Sculptor 67 million light-years away with two stellar nuclei that were emitted apart by a stream of dust. Later observed by NASA and ESA Hubble Telescope, NGC 613 was dubbed as barred galaxy by astromers owing to its well-defined central bar and long arms that riated out of nucleus.
