Happy 4th of July: Celestial Fireworks | Hubble
Image: A nebula in the constellation Carina, NGC 3603
Like a July 4 fireworks display a young, glittering collection of stars looks like an aerial burst. The cluster is surrounded by clouds of interstellar gas and dustβthe raw material for new star formation. The nebula, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina, contains a central cluster of huge, hot stars, called NGC 3603.
Appearing colorful and serene, this environment is anything but. Ultraviolet radiation and violent stellar winds have blown out an enormous cavity in the gas and dust enveloping the cluster. Most of the stars in the cluster were born around the same time, but differ in size, mass, temperature and color. The course of a star's life is determined by its mass, so a cluster of a given age will contain stars in various stages of their lives, giving an opportunity for detailed analyses of stellar life cycles. NGC 3603 also contains some of the most massive stars known. These huge stars live fast and die young, burning through their hydrogen fuel quickly and ultimately ending their lives in supernova explosions.
Star clusters like NGC 3603 provide important clues to understanding the origin of massive star formation in the early, distant universe. Astronomers also use massive clusters to study distant starbursts that occur when galaxies collide, igniting a flurry of star formation. The proximity of NGC 3603 makes it an excellent lab for studying such distant and momentous events.
This Hubble Space Telescope image was captured in August 2009 and December 2009 with the Wide Field Camera 3 in both visible and infrared light, which trace the glow of sulfur, hydrogen, and iron.

Fireworks!
10 supernova explosions have been observed in the #Fireworks Galaxy in the last 100 years alone! Roughly 22 million light years from Earth, this spiral galaxy is about 40,000 light-years across! Happy #4thofJuly2018! β More about supernovae: t.co/VBOWi2mwr7

Happy 4th of July, U.S.A.!!
I've decided I'm going to chill at home this evening, so this is the only fireworks display I'll have for you this year ... ;o7
(Why, yes, as a matter of fact I have lost my marbles ... and if you happen to find them, please feel free to send them my way ... :oD)
