NGC 602
00:10
Since antiquity, wreaths have symbolized the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
00:16
It is fitting, then, that one of the best places for astronomers to learn more about the stellar life cycle
00:22
resembles a giant holiday wreath itself.
00:26
The star cluster NGC 602 lies on the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud,
00:32
which is one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way, about 200,000 light-years from Earth.
00:40
The stars in NGC 602 have fewer, heavier elements compared to the Sun and most of the rest of the galaxy.
00:47
Instead, the conditions within NGC 602 mimic those for stars found billions of years ago,
00:54
when the Universe was much younger.
00:56
This new image combines data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope.
01:02
The dark, ring-like outline of the wreath seen in JWST data is made up of dense clouds of filled gas.
01:09
Meanwhile, X-rays from Chandra show young, massive stars that are illuminating the wreath,
01:15
sending high-energy light into interstellar space.
01:19
These X-rays are powered by winds flowing from the young, massive stars that are sprinkled throughout the cluster.
01:25
The extended cloud in the Chandra data likely comes from the overlapping X-ray glow of thousands of young, low-mass stars in the cluster.
01:34
What a week will be used for the S-ray glow of thousands of stars.
01:44
The EOS is a small tiny ray of light in the organization,
01:46
a little ray of light in the hand, all the way it is used to be used to be used to while the data is used to be used for the same.
01:48
The String T deixa is very high, very done by the team.
01:50
A big way it will vary.
01:51
How can we use the S-ray funciona?
01:52
The Wreath is a cloud in the cloud, so we will keep an air light in the cloud out the inner light in the cloud
01:54
and keep an air in the cloud.
01:55
The portal is also going to be a bit more effective in the cloud, so we can see the weather.
01:56
The function of the cloud isn't up the other than the cloud, so you can see the cloud of the cloud is up and the cloud.
