Description

NGC 6604 is actually fairly close to earth in the grand scheme of things. It is filled with hot young stars that tend to quickly live short lives...like us really except under a different scale. This object is about 5,500 light years from our sun. So....it is really really hold when we think of it in earth human years but young in the scheme of our universe. Taken from my balcony in Freshwater Sydney, Australia.
