NASA telescopes capture a cosmic "wreath" in a nearby galaxy, offering insights into star life cycles.

NASA's latest space missions have uncovered a cosmic "wreath" that offers insights into star formation and galaxy evolution. The wreath-like structure, observed by telescopes including Hubble, Spitzer, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, shows a ring of stars at various stages of life. This discovery, captured through a combination of X-ray and infrared data from the Chandra and James Webb Space Telescopes, reveals details about star birth and death in the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way.
