Description
The Milky Way and other galaxies in the universe harbor many young star clusters and associations that each contain hundreds to thousands of hot, massive, young stars known as O and B stars. The star cluster Cygnus OB2 contains more than 60 O-type stars and about a thousand B-type stars. Young stars found here range in age from one million to seven million years. .
This composite image of the star cluster Cygnus OB2 contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), infrared data from Spitzer (red), and optical emission from the Isaac Newton Telescope (orange).
This is my interpretation of a high resolution Hubble photograph. It has been retouched to bring you maximum image quality. Buy online abstract space today!
