Zamani (ESA\/Hubble)<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>NGC 346 is in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way that lies 200,000 light-years away in the constellation Tucana. The Small Magellanic Cloud is less rich in elements heavier than helium \u2014 what astronomers call metals \u2014 than the Milky Way. This makes conditions in the galaxy similar to what existed in the early universe.<\/p>\n<p>NGC 346 is home to more than 2,500 newborn stars. The cluster\u2019s most massive stars, which are many times more massive than our Sun, blaze with an intense blue light in this image. The glowing pink nebula and snakelike dark clouds are sculpted by the luminous stars in the cluster.<\/p>\n<p>Hubble\u2019s exquisite sensitivity and resolution were instrumental in <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/missions\/hubble\/nasas-hubble-finds-spiraling-stars-providing-window-into-early-universe\/\" rel=\"noopener\">uncovering the secrets<\/a> of NGC 346\u2019s star formation. Using two sets of observations taken 11 years apart, researchers traced the motions of NGC 346\u2019s stars, revealing them to be spiraling in toward the center of the cluster. This spiraling motion arises from a stream of gas from outside of the cluster that fuels star formation in the center of the turbulent cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The inhabitants of this cluster are stellar sculptors, carving out a bubble within the nebula. NGC 346\u2019s hot, massive stars produce intense radiation and fierce stellar winds that pummel the billowing gas of their birthplace, dispersing the surrounding nebula.<\/p>\n<p>The nebula, named N66, is the brightest example of an H II (pronounced \u2018H-two\u2019) region in the Small Magellanic Cloud. H II regions are set aglow by ultraviolet light from hot, young stars like those in NGC 346. The presence of this nebula indicates the young age of the star cluster, as an H II region shines only as long as the stars that power it \u2014 a mere few million years for the massive stars pictured here.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating for over three decades and continues to make ground-breaking discoveries that shape our fundamental understanding of the universe. Hubble is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope and mission operations. Lockheed Martin Space, based in Denver, also supports mission operations at Goddard. The Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, conducts Hubble science operations for NASA.<\/em><\/p>\n<div
