NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Webb show a new view of a cosmic wreath, also known as star cluster NGC 602 located on the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud around 200,000 light-years from Earth. Radiation and shock waves from the stars here have pushed away much of the lighter surrounding gas and dust, resulting in new star formation in the ridges of the nebula.
What you see here is actually data from both NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory with a previously released image from the James Webb Space Telescope. The dark ring-like outline of the wreath can be observed in Webb data (orange, yellow, green, and blue) that is made up of dense clouds of filled dust.

In addition to this cosmic wreath, a new version of the ‘Christmas tree cluster’ is also now available. Like NGC 602, NGC 2264 is a cluster of young stars between one and five million years old,” said Lee Mohon, NASA Web Editor.
