NASA reveals 'Christmas Tree Cluster' in space

Christmas Tree

In conjunction with the festive Christmas season, NASA recently posted a captivating image on its Instagram account featuring the "Christmas Tree Cluster," officially designated as NGC 2264.

Situated roughly 2,500 light-years away from our planet, the Christmas Tree Cluster is a mesmerizing collection of youthful stars, primarily ranging in age from 1 to 5 million years, according to NASA's findings.

This celestial spectacle bears a striking resemblance to a triangular green Christmas tree embellished with stellar "ornaments" in shades of blue and white, creating a stunning visual display against the vast cosmic backdrop.
