Young Star Cluster Westerlund 2 3.4

This week I chose to do the picture of the young star cluster in RCW 49. The IR and X-ray composite images were taken in the constellation Centaurus, the image reveals objects and structures that are normally obscured by interfering dust. The star cluster itself is only 2 million years old, and it contains some of the most massive, luminous, and therefore short-lived stars in the galaxy. The zone also contains evidence of some proto-planetary discs nearby.
