Washington: The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a glittering star cluster, resembling an opulent diamond tapestry, that contains a collection of some of the brightest stars seen in our Milky Way galaxy.
The cluster, called Trumpler 14, is located 8,000 light-years away in the Carina Nebula, a huge star-formation region, NASA said. Since, the cluster is only 500,000 years old, it has one of the highest concentrations of massive, luminous stars in the entire Milky Way, the researchers said.
