Young Stars of NGC 346
NGC 346 is a cluster of massive, short-lived stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, 210,000 light-years away. Their intense winds and radiation carve out a cavern in the gas and dust cloud, triggering new star formation at the edges. This region, cataloged as N66, also holds a large population of infant stars.
