NGC 1818: Pick A Star
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
NGC 1818 is a young, glittering cluster of 20,000 stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, 180,000 light-years away. Astronomers might pick the unassuming bluish-white star, circled in the image, which appears to be a hot, newly formed white dwarf star. Standard astronomical wisdom suggests stars over five times the mass of the Sun end their lives in a supernova. With less than five solar masses, this star is an interesting case.
