Hubblecast 09: Extreme Star Cluster Bursts Into Life.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spectacular image of NGC 3603, a giant nebula hosting one of the most prominent massive young clusters in the Milky Way. This is a splendid location for continued studies of stellar birth in star forming regions.

Needless to say this was another great video, as the Hubblecast always is...but I also find Dr. J's T-shirt remarkable! Pril-shirt haha :D Reminds me my childhood and the publicity on german TV then.

I wish I could live forever...not for money and fame...but for knowledge of this mysteriously wonderful universe we live in.

some of the sprialing images resemble a black hole straight on, capturing matter and going down the tube , like someone fkushed a great toilet. lol

[nickharvey7]

Beautiful cluster and very interesting!!

[shareeannenicole]

if u go thru it do u teleport to somwhere else

[nishbrown]

Yes indeed! The light you are seeing has been traveling from it's source for 20,000 years.

[hapalablap]

Yes

[flvplayer2000]

seeing as these stars are 20,000 light-years away, does that mean that these images are almost 20,000 years old?

[gavinmacmounsey]

the Milkyway`s very own -"Star-nursery"

very cool images.
