Metal Prints from Australian Views
Brilliant, Hot, Young Stars Shine in the Small Magellanic Cloud
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), located 210, 000 light-years away, is one of the most dynamic and intricately detailed star-forming regions in space. At the center of the region is a brilliant star cluster called NGC 346. A dramatic structure of arched, ragged filaments with a distinct ridge surrounds the cluster.
A torrent of radiation from the clusters hot stars eats into denser areas creating a fantasy sculpture of dust and gas. The dark, intricately beaded edge of the ridge, seen in silhouette by Hubble, is particularly dramatic. It contains several small dust globules that point back towards the central cluster, like windsocks caught in a gale.
Energetic outflows and radiation from hot young stars are eroding the dense outer portions of the star-forming region, formally known as N66, exposing new stellar nurseries. The diffuse fringes of the nebula prevent the energetic outflows from streaming directly away from the cluster, leaving instead a trail of filaments marking the swirling path of the outflows.
The NGC 346 cluster at the center of this image from the Hubble Space Telescope contains dozens of hot, blue, high-mass stars, more than half of the known high-mass stars in the entire SMC galaxy. A myriad of smaller, compact clusters is also visible throughout the region.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a celestial wonder located 210,000 light-years away. Within this distant star-forming region lies NGC 346, an extraordinary star cluster that radiates brilliance and youthfulness. The image reveals a mesmerizing sight: arched filaments and a distinct ridge enveloping NGC 346, forming an intricate sculpture of dust and gas. The dark silhouette of the ridge is adorned with small dust globules resembling windsocks caught in a powerful gale. Energetic outflows and radiation emitted by the cluster's hot young stars have begun to erode the outer layers of N66, exposing new stellar nurseries. However, due to the diffuse fringes of the nebula surrounding it, these energetic outflows are unable to escape directly from the cluster. Instead, they leave behind swirling trails of filaments that mark their path through space. At its core, NGC 346 boasts dozens of high-mass stars—hot blue giants that illuminate their surroundings with intense energy. In fact, more than half of all known high-mass stars in the entire SMC galaxy reside within this remarkable cluster. Additionally, numerous smaller compact clusters can be observed throughout this breathtaking cosmic landscape. This stunning image was captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and is a testament to both its technological prowess and our insatiable curiosity about distant galaxies like Australian Views' Small Magellanic Cloud.
