GC 3590: Exploring the Colorful Diversity of Stars in a Young Open Star Cluster

NGC 3590 is a captivating open star cluster that offers both amateur and professional astronomers a rewarding celestial target. Its colorful array of stars and its relatively young age make it a fascinating object to observe and study. So, if you have access to a telescope and are interested in exploring the wonders of our universe, NGC 3590 should definitely be on your list of celestial objects to explore.

This pan video gives a close-up look at a colourful new image from the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile showing the star cluster NGC 3590. These stars shine brightly in front of a dramatic landscape of dark patches of dust and richly hued clouds of glowing gas. This small stellar gathering gives astronomers clues about how these stars form and evolve — as well as giving hints about the structure of our galaxy's pinwheeling arms.
