SPACE-STAR-CLUSTER-NGC-3572
EMBARGOED UNTIL 13 November 2013, 12:00 CET
A handout photo provided by the European Southern Observatory on November 11, 2013 shows the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile that captured the best image so far of the star cluster NGC 3572, a gathering of young stars, and its spectacular surroundings. This new image shows how the clouds of gas and dust around the cluster have been sculpted into whimsical bubbles, arcs and the odd features known as elephant trunks by the stellar winds flowing from the bright stars. The brightest of these cluster stars are heavier than the Sun and will end their short lives as supernova explosions. AFP PHOTO / HO / EUROPEAN SOUTHERN OBSERVATORY / G. Beccari
