Summary

Description
English: The star cluster NGC 3293

In this image from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile young stars huddle together against a backdrop of clouds of glowing gas and lanes of dust. The star cluster, known as NGC 3293, would have been just a cloud of gas and dust itself about ten million years ago, but as stars began to form it became the bright group we see here. Clusters like this are celestial laboratories that allow astronomers to learn more about how stars evolve.

Deutsch: Der Sternhaufen NGC 3293

In dieser Aufnahme vom Wide Field Imager des MPG/ESO 2,2-Meter-Teleskop am La Silla-Observatorium der ESO in Chile drängen sich junge Sterne vor einem Hintergrund aus Wolken leuchtenden Gases und Schneisen von Staub. Dieser Sternhaufenmit der Bezeichnung NGC 3293 wäre vor ungefähr 10 Millionen Jahren selbst nur eine Wolke aus Gas und Staub gewesen, aber als Sternentstehung einsetzte, wurde daraus die helle Gruppe von Sternen, die man hier sieht. Sternhaufen wie dieser sind kosmische Laboratorien, die es Astronomen ermöglichen mehr darüber zu lernen wie sich Sterne entwickeln.

Français : L'amas ouvert NGC 3293

Dans cette image acquise par la caméra à grand champ (WFI) installée sur le télescope MPG/ESO de 2,2 mètres de l'Observatoire de La Silla de l'ESO au Chili, de jeunes étoiles sont groupées dans un décor de nuages de gaz lumineux et de poussière. Cet amas d'étoiles, connu sous le nom de NGC 3293, aurait été un simple nuage de gaz et de poussière il y a environ 10 millions d'années, mais au fur et à mesure de la formations d'étoiles, il a dû devenir le brillant amas stellaire que nous voyons ici. Les amas comme celui-ci sont de véritables laboratoires célestes dont l'étude permet aux astronomes d'en apprendre plus sur l'évolution des étoiles.
