NGC 3603
NGC 3603 is one of the most massive and densest star clusters within the Milky Way, and can be seen within the constellation of Carina. Around 17 light-years in length, and 20000 light-years away from earth, the cluster can be seen using 7x50 binoculars under good conditions. Its strong ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds have cleared away most of the massive clouds of gas and plasma surrounding it, giving the earth a clear view. The images used to create this picture were taken with the Stocker AstroScience Center 0.61-meter telescope at FIU by Dr. James Webb, and color combined by Bobby Martinez.
