Coronet in the Southern Crown 1.4

For this week, I choose to do the picture of the Coronet Cluster in Corona Australus. I thought the false-color picture appeared spectacular. The observations apparently suggest that extremely energetic x-rays are emanating from the hot coronae. The view spans roughly 2 light years and was taken from the Chandra Observatory and the Spitzer space telescope.
