Malibu Dream Galaxy. 💗 ⁣

Located 210,000 light-years away from Earth in Barbie-pink hues is the Small Magellanic cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way. At the center of this image is a vibrant star cluster called NGC 346, and it was imaged by NASAHubble. Radiation from the cluster's hot stars forms sculptures of gas and dust.⁣

Image Description: At the center of the image, a star cluster surrounded by a cloud of pink hues. A dramatic structure of arched, ragged filaments with a distinct ridge surrounds the cluster. Energetic outflows and radiation from hot young stars are eroding the dense outer portions of the star-forming region.⁣
