Hubble & Webb Views of Star Cluster NGC 346 in The Small Magellanic Cloud

This video features two views of NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies. The first image shown is from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, which is followed by a new image of the object by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.

NCG 346 is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy close to our Milky Way.

The James Webb Space Telescope is an international partnership between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
