Scientists spice up old Hubble Telescope image to shine light on spectacular star cluster

A gorgeous sparkling scene with pinkish red structures and a dark blue sky.

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) just released a stunning image of the NGC 346 star cluster from the Hubble Space Telescope — but it isn't quite "new."

Rather, it's an old photo from the Hubble Space Telescope's archives that has been augmented with additional data and processing techniques as a part of a new image series that celebrates Hubble's 35th anniversary.
