Description

Open Cluster in Carina around 8000 light years away, comprising 90 ish hot young stars but at the same time presenting yellow stars raising questions about how open clusters evolve.

The cluster sits on the edge of Gum 30 to one side and also on the fringes of the Carina nebula, hence the large amount of nebulosity. The young stars are around 10 million years old and are extremely hot so are generating the blue reflection nebulosity surrounding them.
