A group of 15 million-year-old stars shines in a rainbow of colors from blue to orange in a new star cluster photo snapped by astronomers using a telescope in Chile.
The stars, which are loosely bound by gravity in what's called an open cluster, are part of the cluster NGC 2100 and stand against a background of spidery gas from the nearby Tarantula Nebula.
