It’s okay if you don’t feel sparkly today. It’s cool if you’re not feeling it. Step back for a bit.⁣ ⁣ There’s just one problem: You already sparkle. Maybe you don’t see it, but others do. You belong, just like every star in this star cluster belongs.⁣ ⁣ Individual stars closest to the center of a cluster may be hard to distinguish, but they’re special just the same. NASAHubble snapped this image of Caldwell 104 in 2017.⁣ ⁣ Fast facts: ⁣ • Stars seen here are clumped together by gravity⁣ • It resides 16,700 light-years away in the constellation Tucana (The Toucan)⁣ • The Milky Way contains over 150 star clusters⁣ ⁣ Image description: A cluster of stars with a bright center. The cluster gets more diffuse away from the center.⁣ ⁣ Credit: ESA/Hubble and NASA⁣ ⁣ #Shine #Sparkle #Stars #YoureDoingGreat #NASA
