#open cluster
This is NGC 3293! ✨✨✨
This newly born cluster is made up of hot, young stars that are a mere 6 million years old. Located near the Carina Nebula, this beautiful star cluster floats in a dust lane that was the birthplace for these stars!

The open star cluster NGC 7380 is still embedded in its natal cloud of interstellar gas and dust commonly known as the Wizard Nebula. Seen on the left, it lies some 8,000 light-years away, toward the constellation Cepheus. Recorded with narrowband filters, the visible wavelength light from the nebula’s hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms is transformed into green, blue, and red colors in the final digital masterpiece.
