Eye on the Universe
"From the far reaches of space come the most vibrant images known to man. Experience the powerful and stunning imagery of the Hubble Telescope at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex during the Eye on the Universe: The Hubble Space Telescope exhibition."
This Hubble Space Telescope view of the Small Magellanic Cloud (NGC 346) separates the cluster into several distinct knots of brilliant stars surrounded by various complex structures, including a long, dark arc of dust created by the outward pressure of radiation.
Lying in the constellation Tucana, this irregular galaxy is 200,000 light-years from Earth, but still easily visible to the naked eye. It contains a total mass of roughly 7 billion Suns, large quantities of gas and dust and several intense star-forming regions.
