Hubble Telescope Captures Dense Arches Star Cluster in Milky Way Image
This visual shows the dense Arches Cluster captured by NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The cluster, home to over 100,000 stars in a relatively small radius, is located in the constellation Sagittarius, approximately 25,000 light-years from Earth. It showcases some of the brightest stars, which will end their life cycles in supernova explosions. The image highlights the high concentration of heavier elements and the necessity of using X-ray, infrared, and radio band detectors to observe these astronomical features. This image is useful for educational materials about star clusters, space density, and the technological advancements in space telescopes.
